I never imagined needing protection from my own husband, let alone finding hope in the arms of another man.

Leaving Henry felt impossible—until it became my only chance at survival. For years, I stayed, thinking I could manage his control and keep our son safe. But now, Henry's gone too far, and I'm caught in a nightmare where escaping means risking everything.

When Chase Hart, an ex-Navy SEAL with a reputation for handling the impossible, shows up on my doorstep, I'm wary but desperate. Chase is here to protect me and my son from a man who once vowed to love us, but it's quickly clear that there's more to him than just strength and skill.

With every look, every touch, Chase starts to feel less like my protector and more like the man I've been missing my whole life. Yet I carry a secret—a truth I'm terrified to share—that could change everything between us.

Now, as Henry closes in, I have to decide: can I trust Chase with my life... and my heart?
