Scarlet Cole had suffered a past that no child should ever have to know; beaten and abused by the people who were supposed to love her unconditionally. It was only thanks to her two best friends and surrogate brothers, Fenix and James, she found herself away from the hell she'd bared her whole life. The ordeal left her broken, scared and afraid, plagued by nightmares, panic attacks and little confidence.

Dimitri Peters was a just a broken, damaged man, torn by the loss of his parents, his father from alcohol addiction, his mother to cancer. All the while, his wife, the woman he loved caused their marriage to break down and crumble. The man who had everything once now has little left besides his sister Julia and his business.

The story follows both of them, a year after Scarlet's escape from hell. The ups and downs of two broken people trying to find their freedom from their pasts. Heartache, betrayal, by the woman who wants her dead. Dimitri and her two bothers along with some help have to fight to save her before too late, but time was all too quickly running out.
