A woman on the run, an ex-husband who will do anything to find her, a Texas Ranger who will kill to save her...

Mia Matthews barely escaped with her life when she tried to leave her abusive husband Geoffrey. But at his sentencing, Geoffrey vowed that he'd never let her go, and now he's escaped prison, she knows he's coming for her... The only person she can turn to, the one man she can trust, Sergeant Alex Townsend, is the one man who's seen her scars, both inside and out. Can he protect her this time?

Texas Ranger Sergeant Alex Townsend instantly fell for the beautiful, courageous woman, but she was wounded and needed time to heal, so he had to let her go. Still, he's been haunted by the pain in her eyes ever since. Now the monster who hurt her wants her back, and this time Alex will do anything to save her. But he must guard his heart because there's no way he can walk away from her a second time...
