Hidden away in the quiet swamps of South Louisiana, Annabelle's life has never truly been her own.
Sheltered by her overprotective father and guarded from a world she's never been allowed to know, her only escape has always been Caleb-the boy her father helped raise. Her best friend.
But when Caleb leaves for New York, taking her heart with him, Annabelle is left behind with nothing but unanswered questions... and a growing fire for freedom she can't ignore.
Three men. One girl raised in a house of lies. And a truth that could ruin them all.
Her every move is watched. Her freedom? Gone.
Assigned to protect her are three men she never chose. They weren't supposed to want her.
She wasn't supposed to want them.
But as the walls close in and her father's secrets begin to unravel and so do everyone else's. Annabelle will have to decide who she can trust-if anyone.
Because in a world of control, power, and deception...
sometimes the only way to survive is to let yourself be bound.
