I used to believe in happily ever afters, until the man my mother married
stripped away my innocence, piece by piece.
For years, he kept me completely isolated, locked away and out of sight. If not for my diary, I'm not sure I would have survived his torment.
But when
two pink lines turn my world upside down,
I know it's now or never-I have to escape before the monster down the hall learns my secret and destroys my only reason for living.
Alone and on the run, help comes from the last place I'd ever expect-
his son.
Atlas swears he's nothing like his father. He says he only wants to
protect me and my unborn baby.
Slowly but surely,
he earns my trust and begins stitching me back together again,
and before I know it, I find myself falling for him.
But no matter how much he feels like home, I can't shake the fear of what will happen if his father finds me. Because no amount of paper and ink will shield me from the past...
or him.
