I’m speechless and furious until my son’s tiny body barrels into mine.
Old feelings resurface and before long I’m fighting for love and family.
With outside forces trying to tear us apart, our road to a second chance will not be easy. Their endgame? Destruction. Our endgame? Love.

Two very important lessons were taught to me the day I witnessed my father kill my baby brother. One, wealth can buy anything—including freedom—and two, monsters come in all kinds of disguises.
I just didn’t think I’d be one of them.
When tragedy strikes close to the heart, I try to make up for the part I played. It’s an everyday battle and the woman I want more than anything never lets me forget what I've done. Loxley has her own demons to fight despite the happy front she puts on, and every time I get a glimpse of the pain in her dual-colored eyes, I want nothing more than to help her defeat every last one of them. Like me, trust comes hard for her, so she doesn’t make it easy.
When she finally reaches out for help, I grab the chance to show her—and everyone else—the man I really am. Neither of us expects the shocking revelations from the past to collide with our present.
After we learn exciting news, we realize our fight with the past is going to be the most important one yet. In order to move on though, we must confront the monsters from our nightmares and hope we survive.
