Marcy Miller has survived many tragedies in her life. The death of her father, mother, and not to mention miscarriage after miscarriage due to her mentally unstable and abusive husband Eric Miller, a local cop in they're small town in Ferndale California who sees no problem with bending the law for his own personal gain. After five years of abuse nearly ending her life, Marcy's older siblings decide enough is enough and kidnaps Marcy from the hospital before Eric can get his hands on her. Now on the run badly battered, broken and bruised, Marcy lives in constant fear that Eric will find her. Marcy knows every deep and dark secret there is to know about Eric Miller and the long list of his crimes that could either get him killed, or put in jail for the rest of his life with half of the inmates he framed and helped put there. Fearing for her life has never clung to Marcy's self-conscience so strongly.... That is until she meets a handsome stranger named Anton Bishop, a gentle yet strong dominating soul with his own troubling past and secrets. Anton feels drawn to Marcy the second they're eyes met. Normally keeping to himself in the shadows of his own despair, Anton feels the overwhelming need to do anything for this little human who seems terrified of him. So without question Anton makes it his top priority to protect Marcy at all costs in a gated community he owns with his family called Marshall Town. But what will happen when feelings start to develop between Marcy and Anton? Will Anton help Marcy to find the love she has been yarning for, and the passion and desire her body desperately craves? And will Marcy be able to accept Anton and love him for the beast that he truly is, and fill the gapping hole in his heart after his tragic loss over ten years ago?
