Young and unsuspecting, Rochelle Rathbone flirts with danger and becomes involved with Tobias Chandler, Miami drug czar, setting the stage for horrors she never knew existed until after their marriage.

Guarded around the clock in his Miami mansion, she becomes a prisoner. Her desire for freedom grows into an obsession, triggering the most desperate attempt in her life, despite Tobias's threat to kill her if she attempts to leave him. Freedom is worth the risk, and she devises a successful plan of escape.

With three thousand miles separating Rochelle from her tormentor, life is never sweeter than when she falls in love with handsome, debonair Michael Matheson. Nothing but the fear of Tobias coming after her can disrupt her happiness more than when she opens her door to see Tobias standing there like some evil prodigy out of hell.

With the deadly threat of his retaliation hanging over her head and marring the near perfect paradise found with Michael, Rochelle knows there are only two things that will stop Tobias's domination and pursuit of her—her death or his.
