Abby Montero wanted it all. But first, she must overcome the haunting memories and emotional impact of domestic violence and a rape that left her emotionally scarred and in search of the personal security and confidence that had once come so naturally.
As the years go by, Abby puts the past behind her. She meets a man who teaches her to trust again, but he turns out to be the right man at the wrong time. Her focus then becomes her career. Working her way up the corporate ladder, she shuns the dating scene. When she finally decides to reenter it, her past comes back to haunt her and she retreats into her own, safe, private world. Enter Raymond Matthews.
Raymond first pledges his friendship, then his love to Abby. He earns her trust and convinces her to marry him by making her believe that he can give her back the dreams she had long ago abandoned. After their marriage, Abby embarks on what she thinks will be a fairy-tale life....until she discovers Raymond has a dark side.
At first, Abby refuses to believe that the man she married is a monster. But as his behavior becomes more unpredictable and violent, Abby knows she needs to leave him. The gym becomes her refuge from Raymond and the nightmare of her home life. Enter Ben Weldon.
Ben is everything Raymond is not, but he carries his own demons that could destroy both him. As they become friends, Abby rediscovers herself and her strength and finally attempts to break free from Raymond. In the process, she tries to help Ben acknowledge and face the demons he denies exist.
When Abby's independence appears within reach, the danger escalates as Raymond tries to destroy her through emotional blackmail and psychological and physical terror. Abby fights back and discovers self-reliance at an enormous cost. Along the way, she learns that true love can come with a price, that trust can turn to betrayal, that friendship can turn to calamity, that determination can lead to empowerment and that people always get what they deserve.
Will Abby escape from Raymond or will she remain trapped in his web forever? Will Ben live up to his promises or will he desert her like the others she once trusted? Will Abby find her true love and finally have it all?
