When the person you love becomes the one you fear most, survival becomes the only thing that matters. Parker Avery is a creative teacher and talented artist trying to rebuild her life after escaping a past filled with lies, betrayal, and unimaginable abuse.

Trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, fear, and violence, Bailey finds herself losing the person she used to be.
