The death of my serial killer father was supposed to free me.

After the horrors of high school my family has reluctantly left me behind to heal from my trauma on my own terms but since my kidnapping I no longer know the girl who stares back at me in the mirror.

The love of my life is avoiding me, desperate to keep me safe, and the man who should hate me won't stop coming to my rescue. I've always known what I wanted but now I'm not so sure.

But the criminal underworld of Mounts Bay never sleeps and with new players on the board there's all new threats and the stakes have never been higher.

But one thing is for sure.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
