From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Terry Towers. Alexander promised her love and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, free from the poverty and despair she'd been living in for most of her life. He promised her the fairy tale and he was to be her white knight. But when the mask came off the true monster inside was revealed... Anastasia He left me with no other choice... We had to escape the prison my son and I were expected to consider home, no matter what the cost. By attempting to free myself and my son from the grip of the monster I had once called my husband I inadvertently put us on the run for our lives. With no place to stay and money in short supply, I was lucky enough to find Jaxson, a man who was willing to give us a chance when no one else would.

But I doubt I've ever met anyone with as many as the young woman who showed up looking to rent an apartment from me, with a small child in tow. My gut told me to turn her away, that trouble wasn't far behind, but she had such a look of desperation in her otherwise stunning blue eyes... How could I could turn her down? I could never have imagined the trouble she'd gotten herself into...
