Dark. Powerful. Dangerous. Philip Murphy has all of Chicago under his thumb. Except me. We met in a perfect storm of violence and lust. He saved me and then disappeared from my life. Now I pretend I never knew that kind of darkness. I focus on midterms and campus parties, as if they can wipe the slate clean. Then he turns up outside my dorm room, wounded and barely conscious. He's the head of a criminal empire, a powerful man, but he needs me now....

There's no escape for me. I'm tied to some of the scariest men in Chicago. Bound so tight I'll never get free. Sin and pleasure. Crime and power. They give as much as they take. They mark me as one of their own. I'll do anything to survive, except bring Luke down with me. I won't taint him. I won't ruin the one good man I've ever met. I won't turn him into a dirty cop. Except he refuses to let me go.

Survival doesn't come easy… I'm a cautionary tale. A statistic. A victim. A single teenage mother from the poor part of town. Most of the time I'm too busy working and struggling to care what people think. Survival doesn't come easy. I have a dark secret, a pressure valve, a rare moment just for myself. On these nights I visit a club. There I find men who give me what I need. Men who aren't afraid to take what they want. Men like Colin. But...

What Colin doesn't know, can't hurt him. At least that's what I tell myself about the secrets I keep. I don't have a choice, not if I want to keep my daughter safe. And, keep him Colin safe too. There are enemies in the shadows waiting to strike from all sides. I'm holding them out with my bare hands, but it's hard not to get crushed in the process. And, the truth has a way of coming out. If I'm not careful, the past I've been working so hard to...

WILD Once upon a time I was the girl who had everything, the clothes, the car. The rich dad who spoiled me. But the truth was, the only thing I had was my body. I used it to buy my way out. I took a bite of the apple knowing full well what would happen. That's how I became a call girl. That's the story of how I ended up in hell. DIRTY There's no escape for me. I'm tied to some of the scariest men in Chicago. Bound so tight I'll never get free....
