He saw what his parents had and he plans to have that kind of love for himself. He just has to convince Aubrey she's perfect for him. He attempts to take it slowly, cautious of her weariness and his own preoccupations. Then he bargains, persuades and seduces until Aubrey agrees to be his. That's where the rest of his life begins... ... even while another part of his life begins to crumble. He finds the foundation of his own family...

All of her life, Bree had been treated badly by men. According to her mother, it was just the way it was with the women in her family and there was no point in trying to fight it. There was no sense in dreaming about Prince Charming right out of the story books, he just didn't exist. She had to accept her fate and move on. It was as simple as that. Bree craved love. She longed for a man to promise her his heart and soul and protect her from the monsters that she had grown accustomed to. She prayed that her mother was wrong and that one day he would find her.

When she is given a second chance, Bree tries to put the pieces of her shattered life back together. Without her abusive husband ruling her every move, she begins to enjoy her newly found freedom and decides to explore her feelings for his younger brother. But is the violence truly over? Or is Bree undeserving as her mother always said she was......

Still believing that her mother may have been right and everything she touches turns to dust, Bree decides to break away from the entire Butler family. Can she put the pieces of her shattered past behind her and start afresh on her own? Or will Trey's undying love draw her back into his arms and into his world once more.

All of my senses screamed at me to run - but run where? I'd lost everything. I had nothing. No one. Nowhere left to turn. I was utterly alone and now at the mercy of this stranger.
