Shelly has been a high class call girl from the time she was a teen, she has used the money to take care of others but she wants love more and is trying to get out. Getting out isn't as easy as it sounds with no background and no past experience she can list to get a job.
Luke is a detective with the Chicago PD and loves Shelly even when she doesn't love herself, even when it mean his job is on line, even when it means hiding his past and the reasons for his need to get her out of the call girl business.
If you are looking for a light and fluffy love story, a Pretty Woman in paper back if you will you have the wrong book! Selling Out is heart wrenching, soul deep tragic with a deep and selfless love between two very broken people and the roller coaster they go through in an effort to put things right so they can be together. Amber Lin writes an amazing story that has characters so well written you feel they are a part of you, she takes you on a journey no one would want to go on and yet to reach the happy ever after at the end the characters must go through it.
Selling Out is moving, full of snarky innuendo, poignant and could make sob your eyes out at the same time you see the courage and the determination of not just the heroine and the hero but the supporting characters as well. It will have you reaching for a tissue while not being able to stop turning the page.
