Ruby has lived a pretty rough life.  Her mom made no secret that she wished she would have gotten an abortion rather than given birth to her.  Bringing in drunks and druggies, Ruby tried to remain invisible to the men her mom saw for her own safety.  She's had to work to give her mother money for booze and can't wait until she's finished high school and can leave town. The day arrives.  With only a backpack full of her clothes and the thousand dollars she has managed to save, she takes a bus out of town for a new future.  She notices a stranger watching her, but decides she's being paranoid.  That night while asleep in a cheap motel, she is drugged, gagged and kidnapped.  She wakes up and finds out she is going to be sold.Gavin knows his sexual preferences aren't normal.  He's attempted to train submissives who can handle his need for giving pain/pleasure, but has decided he'll buy one instead and mold her to his liking.  The minute he sees Ruby on the stage with the other girls for sale, he knows she's the one, especially when she begins to struggle.  Soon he has Ruby home and explains that she'll grow to want him and what he can offer as much as he does.I know there will be readers who don't agree with MY personal opinion, but to me, even though Gavin did in actuality kidnap Ruby, I really felt something for his character.  He had all this money and power but it couldn't keep him from feeling lonely.  Gavin did everything he could to make Ruby feel special and adored.  He showed her the care she had never received from her mother and offered her anything she wanted. It's no wonder Ruby began to have feelings for him.  Yes, it was a messed up way for the two of them to meet, but by the end of the story, I understood more about both of theirs feelings and was pulling for their happy ending.
