Fighting to survive, Misty Elton takes one look at the man standing in front of her and knows she needs to make a decision-does she want to live? After discovering that her boyfriend is storing enough drugs to supply a small country, she realizes she needs to escape, but he's standing in the doorway-standing in the way of her freedom. Managing to get past him, she flees and lands in Seattle, where she changes her appearance, her name, her life. She has nothing left-no one she can rely on. But after a year, she begins to feel safe-that is, until a tall, well-dressed man shows up at her job and calls her by her real name. Rushing to the back room, she grabs her taser and hits him with it, thinking she's home free-but she's not. All she's done is tick off Bryson Winchester, and all he's trying to do is to get her scum of an ex off the streets. Now Misty has a choice to make: is this a man she can trust? Soon enough, she gets that answer and more, but none of them are what she expects...
