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.
