At twenty-one, I found the courage, once more, to run away for good from my abuser. The man who tried to break me for years with his unwanted touch. I may have gotten free from him, but the fear and anxiety of him finding me keep me prisoner.

Until I find safety in the arms of a man I would never expect I could trust: his best friend, Victor. His deep raspy voice giving me commands I never thought I’d like melt away my anxiety and worry.

Of course, as soon as I stop looking over my shoulder, the man I’ve been hiding from comes back into my life. Victor vows to keep me safe and the line between friendship and something more begins to blur. For the first time in my life, I have hope that I can finally have a happily ever after.
