"¿I thought about killing myself sometimes, just to end it on my terms instead of waiting for him to lose control one day and do it for me¿."
When Daphne Edwards suddenly decides to leave her abusive fiancé once and for all, she heads home to Charlottesville, Virginia in the hopes that her family will open their arms to her.
With a black eye and a bruised heart, Daphne doesn't know how her family will react at seeing her again since she has ignored them for nearly two years, but she has no choice now.
Evan's lips may profess a great love for Daphne, but his fists tell a very different story.
He is a man that gets what he wants.
Always.
After surviving abusive parents, and the foster care system, Daphne finds Brentley Knight, whose parents raise her to adulthood.
Her lifelong best-friend, Brent, is astonished when mysterious things happen shortly after Daphne's hasty arrival. Daphne is not telling them the whole story regarding her sudden return, but he also knows that something is definitely not right judging on her strange behavior.
First, she suffers a confrontation when Evan shows up, then a car-jacking, her new home is broken into as threats, and other events similar to the ones her crazy ex promised, come true and more.
Daphne knows Evan has some serious issues, but would he really go this far just to get her back?
Find out in this gripping, more-than-meets-the-eye romantic suspense.
