Screw him.

My ex was more of a wife beater than a bad boy, and I'm never going back.

But that means I've got to be careful.

I can't let anyone get close. Especially not Ted.

His endless biker tattoos and thick muscles are haunting my dreams, but they'll have to stay dreams.

Even when Ted tells me he wants to be more than friends.

I made some promises to myself when I ran. No romance. No men. And definitely no falling in love.

I never thought I'd break those promises so soon.

Ted says he'll protect me, but he wants to know my secrets.

How can I tell him the truth?

That husband of mine is closing in. Which means I've got to run.

There's no time for goodbyes. No time to tell Ted about our baby.

But Ted won't let me go without a fight.

And the prize is me.
