(view spoiler)[Kyle saw her best friend's brother get shot right infront of her by her own brother and she is the only wittness. So when he tells to get in the car and that the only way she will stay alive is by shutting her mouth about it and moving away. That means leaving behind her two best friends with one of whom she is in love with. 
 But she knows that if she stays or tells anyone about it then she's not only going to put her own life in jeopardy but the ones of Billy and Garin too and she just can't do that. 
 So she accepts. She moves to Florida after she graduates and opens up a business where she cleans up her brothers money and lives a life she wouldn't wish on anyone. She had an appartment, a job and enough food and money for an army but she still was a prisoner of her brother. None of all those things felt like it belong to her. 
 Then Billy died and she went to the funeral where she saw Garin and all her emotions came back to the surface. But Garin wasn't the strawny boy that looked at her in adoration that she remembered. No, he became a strong man who only had coldness in his eyes that didn't even changed when they got kidnapped and imprisoned by someone that wanted to know the truth about Paulie's death. 
 All that just because her brother was a greedy, cruel bastard that didn't want to include Garin and Billy in their business. That's why he killed him, because he didn't want to share the profit. 
 Of course all of the imprisoment and torture was Garins plan to make Kylie speak up about everything she knew and never even felt guilty about the torture she endured. 
 But what happened after that, when she moved in with him and found out? 
 Did she leave him? Did she forgave him and stayed? What did she do? 
 Well we never will know since her finding out is exactly where the book ends. (hide spoiler)] 
 It was an ok read and the sex was pretty steamy but it's not a book that I would've picked up if I hadn't got a pdf for free. 
 You pretty much know from the beginning what happened, you just keep reading to find out why.
