There is no light.
I live in a hellish nightmare where violence is everything and love no longer exists.
I’m left with no choice. I need to escape.
So that’s what I do. I escape. I leave my abusive husband behind in the darkness and I run, far away from him.
Taking a summer job as a housekeeper on a horse ranch in Northern Wyoming, I end up working for 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. He has secrets of his own – secrets that he keeps buried for a very good reason.
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 have what’s in front of you, until you let go of what’s behind you.

โTake a shower,โ he says.
Iโm almost tempted to salute him. But I donโt, because a long, hot shower really does sound good.
I nod and thank him politely and tell him I wonโt be long.
โI ordered pizza. Itโll be here in fifteen minutes.โ
Oh, god yes.
If I thought a shower sounded tempting, pizza sounds even better.
โThank you. Iโm starving. The cotton candy is the only thing Iโve eaten all day. You must be hungry too, thank you for waiting for โโ
โIโve already eaten,โ he says quickly. โYouโll be eating alone. I have some rules we need to discuss before tomorrow morning. Iโm tired, so donโt be long. Iโll meet you in the kitchen.โ
Oh.
Why am I so disappointed?
โI wonโt.โ
Elliot makes a kind of grunting sound and then walks away.
Jesus Christ, this man.
