For years, Jude loved Maya from afar. When she falls into his arms at
his sister’s wedding, Jude decides he’s waited long enough. But it’s
complicated. Maya’s no longer the carefree, self-assured woman he once knew.
Frightened, vulnerable, her confidence crushed, Maya is unable to see a way out
of an abusive relationship. But Jude Holland is not going to stand back and
watch this happen. After rescuing her from Carl’s clutches, he plans to stay
and pick up the pieces.
But getting rid of Carl is harder than anyone
imagined. Carl’s sociopathic tendencies know no boundaries. Determined to take
back what is his, hatred consumes him. With all rationality gone, Carl is
prepared to go to monstrous lengths to destroy what he once loved. Driven by
envy and hate, he sets out to destroy Maya. If he can’t have her, then he is
damn sure no one else will have her either.

EXCERPT:
Jude couldn’t believe his luck when Maya spun around and came crashing
into him. After spotting her outside, he'd followed her in; his progress
hindered as he tried to navigate across a yard packed with partygoers. As he
fought his way through the kitchen, he thought she was going to slip away yet
again. It seemed all day long he'd been trying to speak to her but she was a
whirling dervish spinning here, there, and everywhere. Organizing photos,
straightening buttonholes, helping elderly aunts into cars and goodness knows
what else.
Every time he came within five feet of her, she twirled around and
headed off in the opposite direction, intent on some errand or mission of
mercy. But now here she was in his arms.
She’s still all hair, he
thought.
He never understood how anyone so small could have
so much of it. It was so damn sexy; it always made him want to run his fingers
through it. Those curls had a mind of their own. Even now they were escaping
here and there from the barrette.
