Trigger Warning: Assault / Abuse
Flashback: One year ago…
I lay chained to the bed, trapped on my stomach. His touch, which had once meant everything to me, now burned like acid against my skin. He untied my legs but left my wrists shackled to the frame. “Knees on the bed. Ass in the air,” he commanded. I sobbed, kicking blindly to force him back. He slammed my head down into the pillow, cutting off my oxygen. I thrashed, suffocating against the fabric. “Don’t make this harder on yourself, you filthy whore,” he hissed into my ear, but finally released his grip on my head, and I gasped for air, weeping. “Please, don’t do this, Phillip. You’re hurting me. Just let me go.”
Phillip chuckled, a cold, hollow sound. “You are mine. Mine to do with as I please. Now, do what I said. Knees on the bed, ass in the air!”
Present Day...
Alexia is running for her life. Craving a fresh start, her only goal is to survive, blend into the background, and never draw attention to herself. But fate has other plans, and they arrive in the form of Carter Quinn.
Carter forces his way past her defences, eliciting feelings Alexia thought were long dead. Who is this man, and can he help put the pieces of a broken woman back together? Or will everything they build crash and burn when her past and future inevitably collide?
As secrets, lies, and half-truths come to light, they must face the ultimate test of what they truly mean to each other.
