A darkly possessive relationship has left Uma alone and on
the run. Beneath her drab clothing, she hides a terrible
secret-proof of her abuse, tattooed onto her skin in a
lurid
reminder of everything she's survived.
Caught between a brutal past and an uncertain future, Uma's
reluctant to bare herself to anyone, much less a rough
ex-con whose rage drives him in ways she will never
understand. But beneath his frightening exterior, Ivan is
gentle. Warm. Compassionate. And just as determined to heal
Uma's broken heart as he is to destroy the monster who left
his mark scrawled across the delicate tapestry of her skin.
