The race for freedom has only just begun. Love was never supposed to be part of the equation for Keaton King, but Bodhi Kane isn't a man to follow rules. She knows that keeping him at arm's length is the safest option, but Bodhi fights past every wall she puts up, determined to find what lies beneath her rough exterior. The threat to Keaton's life hangs in the balance, growing more imminent with each passing day, but she swears she has it under control. Bodhi doesn't agree and does everything in his power to help keep her head above water. Will Keaton accept Bodhi's outstretched hand, or fight the current a little while longer? Now is the time when she must choose to sink or swim.

It’s time to end this… once and for all. For the last two years, I have stood by and let the universe dictate my life. Not anymore. It’s time to take charge and put things back in order. For me. For my family. And for her. Even if she doesn’t want it. I’m done standing by and watching her drown. If I can save her from this chaos, I will. No matter what the cost. I only hope she can learn to forgive me.
