Her father is a drunk who likes to beat his wife.  He also enjoys mentally beating his daughter.  Stephanie hides her home life and lets no one on the inside of her home or mind for fear of what they will find out. One night Stephanie changes that and lets her boyfriend Eric in her home to study.  The events that follow that night will change both of their lives for good.Eric is in love with Stephanie.  After sharing something with her that he thought would bring them closer together Stephanie disappears and he has no way of finding her.  He becomes angry and withdrawn.  The anger he feels within causes him to get into fights.  Eventually all the fist fights turns him into one of UFC's champion fighters.  A mid afternoon stroll to unwind before working out leads Eric right back to the girl he has been fighting for all these years, all though she still looks the same she is not the same girl and now she is married.Travis is a arrogant banking millionaire.  He has good looks, a cocky attitude, and more money than he knows what to do with.  When he meets Stephanie he immediately sweeps her off of her feet.  It only took him nine months to get her to agree to be his forever.  Travis holds a dark secret though and its one that is kept entirely for Stephanie.This is a book about how far you will go when you love someone.  What you will endure to show your love and then the limits that break you.  Stephanie is a broken girl who really has never been whole. Eric is broken without Stephanie and will go to any length to keep her safe, even losing a career setting match.  Travis lives off of how other people perceive him and uses Stephanie as his outlet for his drunken anger.This was a great book.  It hit home for me.  When Stephanie was living with her parents I literally knew the pain that she endured and wanted to go into the book and hug her.  This is not a gushy love story this book is raw and unfortunately a reality for many women.  Your dealing with real issues of abuse and alcoholism in this book.  There is a lot of HOT sex in the book as well.  Not all passionate love, but some HOT violent sex.  This was definitely not a typical romance of boy meets girl and they fall madly in love there is a hard sad backstory that goes with this book.  The book does leave you in a bit of a cliffhanger.  I cant wait to read more from N.L Echeverria.
