She's a sassy single mom. He's a hardened homicide detective.
I'm a single mom with a past darker than coal. I've endured a life of pain, escaped a monster, and survived hell. Because of my past, the walls surrounding my heart are strong. Impenetrable.
But those walls begin to crumble when I meet him . . . Detective Anthony Moretti.
He's everything I've ever wanted, and everything my son deserves. I can lie to myself all day long, but the truth is, I want him. But we don't always get what we want, do we? With the monster from my past closing in, I push him away. But Anthony—hardheaded man that he is—isn't having it.
Hell-bent on staking his claim, he won't give up. No matter how hard I push, he doesn't budge. As far as he's concerned, my fate is sealed.
But the monster from my past still lurks. And whether or not I'm ready, it's about to rear its ugly head.
Contains mature themes.
