After the death of her fiance, Christina Larsen vowed that she would never fall in love again and threw all her energy into her business. Then she met Brad Hightower, an entrepreneur and pilot who made her forget that vow. Christina was swept off her feet by his personal charm and generosity. Brad was obsessed with Christina initially, but after they married, she quickly realized he wanted her to be his intelligent and glamorous trophy wife in public but subservient and obedient at home. Her husband's true obsessions were his businesses, his son, and extramarital affairs. Christina endured mental and physical abuse before finally escaping to normalcy.
