Blurb:
Burned out ex-soldier Nick Kurosawa
has drifted from job to job since he lost his family in a car crash. Lately,
he’s been working on and off as a bouncer, barely managing to cover his bills;
an opportunity for steady, well-paying work is just what he needs to get his
life back in order.
Jacob Umber, a secretive philanthropist, gives him that
opportunity. Umber has fibromyalgia and needs a personal assistant to help him
with the tasks of daily living—someone strong, adaptable, and, most of all,
willing to let Umber take the lead.
It seems a perfect opportunity for Nick. More than
anything, he craves guidance and a purpose, and Umber gives him that in spades.
When Nick starts craving more, it seems an impossible complication, but even
the reserved Umber can’t deny Nick’s talent—and need—for following his orders.
But Umber’s shadowy past holds secrets that could undo their fragile new
relationship and any hope Nick has of a normal life.
My review:
This is a
brilliant mind-bending tale. This story took unexpected twists that will leave
you gasping. Nick is relatable while Jacob is an enigma. I’ve not read anything
by this author before but you can bet I’ll be checking out his other work.
