Then a mysterious, and very sexy, stranger she knows only as X tells her the worst: the man who drugged her friend was a pimp looking for another girl. Gabby is determined to not let what almost happened to her friend happen to any more girls, so when her friend Bree never makes it home from a party, Gabby hits the streets with X to search for her. As they dive into the seedy underworld of Miami, they cannot ignore their undeniable attraction to each other. Until Gabby discovers the truth about who X really is and the danger that surrounds him. She learns that saving Bree, and girls like her, will be more difficult than she ever imagined. But can their love survive the light of day?
