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 decide to try to make up for the part I played. It's an everyday battle and the woman I was falling in love with 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.
