Excerpt
I thought I'd got rid of the man. Last year, when he first barged his way back into my life and started making his demands. I thought I'd done enough to satisfy the man's greed. I should have known better than that. Men like him are never satisfied. I should have cut my losses then, before he got out, cut my losses, signed the bussiness over to Marcus and gone away. You may not be able to run away from the past, but at least you can try to run from the people you left behind there.
