A Thousand Words

She's trapped in a nightmare. Unleashing his own could set her free.
From the outside, Elora Reverie's life is a dream. A handsome husband; a passion for writing children's books; a beautiful home. In reality, she's living a nightmare of abuse in a house that's little more than a prison.
On a rare escape to a book convention, she's shocked to win a raffle for a photoshoot with Vincent Voden, a stunning male model. Yielding to the temporary fantasy is an exercise in madness, especially with his phone number hidden in the lining of her purse. But when her husband turns violent, she's forced to admit her marriage is truly a sham-and she dials that lifeline to Vincent's safe, strong arms.
Vincent instantly recognized the hopeless look in Elora's eyes. His mother wore it, too. That's why he secretly entered Elora's name into that contest-to shield her, however briefly, in his arms. Now he's got a second chance to show her love doesn't have to hurt. When a murderous crime organization re-emerges and targets abused women, Vincent will do whatever it takes to protect Elora from more than just her husband.
No matter what favors from his violent past he needs to call in to make it happen...
