Blurb
"The course of true love never did run smooth."
Even with the odds stacked against them and the devastating secrets they share, Max and Vivienne Huntington know their love is worth any fight. Max's malicious and meddling mother doesn't even stand a chance despite her sabotage attempts and vicious threats.
But Vivi's father, a charming and renown cult leader, emerges from her well-hidden past with startling news to her found family: Vivi has been legally married to another man. Knowing his daughter ran away to escape the oppressive environment, he brings "home" - and her husband - to her. To the new life she created with Max. Her refuge.
With shadows of her past sweeping into her present, Vivi desperately wants to protect her found family even if it means sacrificing her own happiness and freedom. But Max will do everything to protect the woman he loves and the life they created.
To escape the dark shadows, Max and Vivi need to confront their past and fears and remember some promises are worth keeping.
