He saves her from a fate worse than hell, and in return, she ruins his life.
Not on purpose, though.
No, the men who think to rule her life don’t like that she has a champion on her side and realize the best way to get back at her is to go through him.
They find a really great way to do it, too.
They frame him for a crime he didn’t intentionally commit and sentence him to spend thirteen years in prison. As an added bonus, they take his child—the one thing that matters most to him— just to remind him that they hold all the power.
But Sage will never let them have any power over her.
That’s why, the day before he’s sentenced to prison, Sage offers the only protection she can think to give him. Her hand in marriage.
For seven years, Sage fights to get her husband-in-name-only free.
Just when she thinks she’s close, she gets the news. Her husband has died in a prison riot, leaving her free to marry another.
That’s when she decides to run.
And where does her running take her? Right into the arms of a man who was supposed to be dead.
