Mia is a traumatized woman who has lived in hell for over a year.  She missed the signs when she met the wealthy lawyer Geoff and was delighted to marry him.  It wasn't long into their marriage that an ugly pattern emerged.  The story opens when Mia is attempting to leave her obsessed, abusive husband. While she manages to escape him, even getting him put in prison for attempted murder, Mia's days of terror are just beginning. When Geoff escapes from prison he has one goal and that is to make Mia suffer for the `wrong' she caused him. Fortunately for Mia, a Texas Ranger Alex was taken with Mia during her trial. Alex is one of the first to learn of Geoff's escape and manages to position himself as Mia's protective detail while they hunt for the escaped prisoner.  This is a harrowing novel of the power of a despicable man to cause untold damage.  It is also the story of how two vulnerable but strong people face a hideous situation. While there is no secret as to how the story will end, the author keeps you turning the pages eager to see what happens next.  This is a book about abuse, wretched people and circumstances and the power of good people to right hideous wrongs. Highly recommended.
