Hayley Mitchell was tired of the burns, bruises, and all-around abuse. She knew though that it wouldn't end anytime soon nor would she leave her good-for-nothing husband. Even though he's hurt her repeatedly, she still was true to her word to never leave him, in sickness and health, until DEATH do their part.

   Andrew Roberts was on top of the world, with casinos in some of the biggest cities in the country, and nothing in his way to stop him until he learned that one man still owes him two hundred thousand in debt. Will he put aside his lonely ways to save a woman who doesn't know how to help herself? Will Hayley finally see the truth for what it is?

                                                        ----------------------------------
   "I'll take her."

   Why is he doing this? Where is he?

   "I'll do better."

                                                          ----------------------------------
