After fleeing her abusive partner, Adrienne steals away in the night with her daughter, returning to the home and religion that cast her out—only to face a new threat when her ex reveals just how possessive he can be.
 
Turns out some things never change. Her mother is still a bitch who wields her cross like a weapon. With nowhere else to turn, she must rely on the childhood best friend, Simon, who once broke her heart—and the only man she’s never let go. Now he’s offering help she didn’t ask for and stirring feelings she never truly buried. But her ex is relentless, cutting off her escape and endangering their child’s life.
 
As the past collides with the present, Adrienne must decide whether love is a risk she can afford—or one she can no longer avoid before her ex comes to make the decision for her.
