Leaving is always the hardest...and sometimes the deadliest
Pregnant and scared, Laura Metcalf has finally escaped her ex-boyfriend who's spent years making her life miserable-who abused her and made her feel small. Now a new fear of her unknown future drives her to do whatever she must for her unborn child. Cade Sulley's construction company has a new employee-his best friend's little sister-who comes with more trouble than he can handle. And a forbidden attraction he can't resist. Trouble is multiplied when his office is ransacked, and Laura attacked. Cade vows to keep Laura safe while pouring his soul into his latest project. A project that captures Laura's heart and gives her new purpose in the shape of a women's shelter. But when the attacks on Laura turn deadly, she must learn to trust the one man who's always been there for her...or lose her life to another man who wants to destroy everything she loves.
