Being a naive, shy girl always worked in Maggie Liken’s favor. That was until she met Dan Baker. The first guy to ever pay attention to her just happened to be the town’s most sought after bachelor. Maggie, unable to resist his charm and good looks, falls hard and fast in love with him. Little did she know, Dan is dangerous. The morning she awakes with a busted lip, black eye, and red marks around her neck, she makes excuses. Maybe she provoked him. Maybe she should have slept with him. Maybe she can fix him, but the incidents keeping occurring making it harder and harder to deny the truth. He said he was sorry, and he’d never do it again, but was that enough? She finds herself caught between wanting to believe he could change and fearing for her life, knowing he never would. She could forgive, but was she able to forget?
