Publisher's summary

Despite being one of the loveliest women in her home village, Lady Anne Whitfield just can't seem to find true love. After her engagement to the handsome and charismatic Sloan Thornton comes to an end, Anne suffers a deep depression.

Emerging from self-imposed exile, she decides to move to London and begins a career in the retail world. She enters into a relationship with a great footballer, Avery Banister, which does not end happily.

Feeling confused and rejected, she marries on the rebound. While her husband, Frank DeLuca, a self-made man, appears to be a gentleman, she quickly learns that he is not what he seems. Mary Christian Payne takes the listener on a frightening journey, inside the life of a woman who lives with a deranged abuser. With determination and mettle, Anne struggles to come to terms with her situation. This is an enthralling story of pleasure and pain, and the pitfalls of marrying in haste.

A must read for every woman!

I gave this book as many stars as I could , because even though some parts were hard to listen to, she wasn't a weak woman. He took advantage of her vulnerable state she was in at the time. He also hid his intentions and true character until after he got her to marry him. I don't want this review to be give the story away but will say this story has a very nice ending and would be beneficial for a woman going through any kind of abuse to read. It is very empowering and shows there is a good life out there besides abuse. Very insightful and enjoyable read!
