One second is all it takes to rip my entire world apart.

The people I loved the most in the world betrayed me in the worst way. Now, I'm on the run and grieving so many different things in my life. Everything I grew up believing was nothing more than a lie. The men who once loved and protected me are nothing more than strangers now. Men I'll do anything to avoid. There's more than just my life at stake now.

One second is all it takes to realize you never truly know someone.

I've lost the only person in my life who matters. She's vanished without a trace and no one can find her. One chance encounter changes my life. I now have a small army at my back to help seek my vengeance. To take out the men who destroyed my life. Then I get the shock of my life. The person I've been searching for returns and she surprises me with the last thing I expect.
