Riassunto

Elise: a street-smart girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

Jamey: the golden son of a wealthy and powerful East Coast family.

They make an unlikely couple.

At first theirs is a classic tale of sexual obsession, of wanting something you shouldn't have. A brutal coming of age. But as they get to know each other what started as a challenge gradually transforms, and their obsession slowly turns into something more like love.

Jamey leaves behind his Yale education, divorcing his family and their wealth, and they invent a new life together that surprises them both. But Jamey's controlling family are not going to give him up easily . . .
