Synopsis
Betrayed. Sold. Tortured. Now she's fighting to rebuild her life.
Ruby Hatcher escaped human traffickers, and she has her life back, but a nagging voice at the back of her mind keeps telling her the world would be a better place without her in it. When a home invasion throws her together with Detective Judah Willow, she learns that she's not as alone as she thought.
Judah wants to ask Ruby out, but he knows about her traumatic past and won't push her into doing something she isn't ready for. But when Ruby gets mixed up in his latest case, he is determined not only to keep her safe but also to prove to her that not all men treat women like property.
