One year of marriage. One year of horrific abuse he claims she self-inflicts. One year of waiting for that one moment of opportunity—and courage—to escape.
Eris Raye has nothing left to lose after her father’s murder. Terrified, she disappears into the darkness and away from her sadistic husband. Alone and vulnerable, she finds an unlikely ally in a local cop who seems just as determined to expose her husband for what he is and what he’s done. But neither are prepared for the dark, disturbing secrets they uncover from the past—or her husband’s vengeful desire to silence her forever.
Now, he’s getting closer, and she’s running out of time.
