I couldn't trust my own blood or the man I married.
Would I ever be able to put my life in another man's hands again?

Once upon a time, I was daddy's little girl, but that all changed the day my mother died, and my father became an abusive alcoholic. Scared and alone, I fled home at eighteen right into the arms of a man who turned out to be just like my father. I'd thought he'd hung the moon.

But I was wrong.

Maybe dead wrong.

Would my husband make good on his vows when he said, 'Till death do us part? I didn't know, but at twenty-three it wasn't just my life that needed to be saved. And while I couldn't risk help from another soul, the moment my eyes landed on Kace's, a perfect stranger, I wanted to desperately sink into the protectiveness that shined in their depths.

But after my past, could I trust him with my heart? Or more importantly, could I trust him with the life of my child?
