Her father's bankruptcy becomes her prison, and her husband, Elliot Foster, is comatose. The whispers start immediately: she'll be a widow soon, cast out by his powerful family. This **contemporary romance** takes a dark turn when Elliot unexpectedly awakens, his fury ignited by the unwanted union. Consumed by rage, Elliot unleashes his wrath upon Avery, threatening the very lives of any children they might have.

She vanishes, leaving behind the gilded cage of her unwanted marriage and the looming threat of Elliot's vengeance. Four years later, Avery returns to her homeland, no longer the naive girl who was forced into a loveless marriage. She now carries the weight of motherhood, shadowed by a past she can't escape.

He has sworn to kill you both." The tale takes a thrilling turn into the realm of **romantic suspense** as, that very night, Elliot's computer is hacked. A message flashes across the screen, a daring challenge issued by one of Avery's twins, a child who knows no fear. "Come and get me, you bastard!" the message taunts. Is this a child's reckless bravado, or a calculated move in a dangerous game? Will Elliot succumb to the challenge and reignite his vengeful pursuit of Avery and her children? And what secrets lie hidden within the past, waiting to be unearthed and forever alter the course of their lives? The stakes are high, and the game has just begun.
