He stole my brother. So, I stole his freedom…

There’s a villain in all of us.

I just never realized that until the worst day of my life.

It started with a sandwich from a stranger—an act of kindness that was nothing more than a veneer to hide the devil behind the mask.

Renzo Iannelli took everything from me that day. My family. My life. My future.

I wasn’t even a blip on his radar when he made me an orphan—left alone to be bruised and abused in foster care—all for the sake of his revenge.

Well, he got his. Now, I’m going to get mine.

No matter how long it takes, no matter what I have to sacrifice, I will make him rue the day he destroyed my life.

But the world is never black and white, and there are far more heartless monsters closing in around me.

So what happens when the devil I know becomes the only person I can trust?

He was my downfall.

I never expected him to also be my redemption.

**This book spans over eight years and is divided into three parts: then, letters, and now. During the “then” portion of this book, the main female character, Ainsley, is a minor. As a disclaimer, there is absolutely no romantic interaction during that portion of the book. However, this section is crucial to the development of their romance later on.

Addy Anders writes romance meant to tug hard on your heartstrings and never let go. Her books deliver deliciously possessive anti-heroes, strong heroines, a touch of angst to set you on edge, and a cocktail of spice.
Addy loves to travel, preferably outside of major cities. When she’s not writing or out in the wilderness, she can be found with her kindle and a very large cup of tea surrounded by her very supportive husband, two kiddos, and two fur babies.
