When you are married to a monster, there is nothing left in life but darkness.
When you live in a nightmare, you would do anything to escape.
So that’s what I do. I escape.
After fleeing from an abusive husband, taking a summer job as a housekeeper on a horse ranch in Northern Wyoming seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Only my boss is a man with a past even darker than my own.
Elliot Cole is cold and distant, sexy and broody. He looks straight through me most days, and yet somehow I’ve never before felt more seen.
But Elliot has secrets of his own – secrets he’s desperate to keep buried.
Can two people who come from the darkness somehow find the light? Or will their future forever be overshadowed? Can they rewrite their pasts? Because the way I see it, you can never truly have what’s in front of you, until you let go of what’s behind you.
