Everything He Gave Me

By Maya Collins

She walked in knowing exactly what he wanted.

She thought that made her the one in control.

Maya Collins is twenty-three, a high school dropout from Decatur, Georgia, and the smartest person in every room she enters. When she takes a job at Atlanta Financial Solutions - a predatory lending operation on the fourteenth floor of a Midtown tower - she sees the arrangement clearly from day one. Her boss Grant Holloway is wealthy, married, and interested. Maya has a plan for men like Grant. She has always had a plan.

What the plan does not account for is how a man who remembers what your brother likes from Popeyes is different from the men you prepared for. Or how a co-signed lease becomes a document with his name underneath yours. Or how the coat on the chair becomes the thing you are best at. Or how comfortable starts to feel like enough.

Narrated in real time from the desk she still sits at, Everything He Gave Me is a novel about coercive control told entirely from inside it - by a woman who would dispute that term, who has her own terms, and who may not be wrong.

It is not a story about a woman who needs saving.

It is a story about a woman who is very good at math.
