by Lucky Montgomery
Today, I ran from my father’s house. It’s been three years since he locked me up. I’m eighteen now, but I know Dad will drag me back the second he finds me. At a country bar, I meet a stranger who looks like trouble sculpted into a man. Lucas Lake. Thirty-five, tall, broad, inked, furious at the world. He kisses me. He promises he’ll help me. And I let myself trust him. Until I realize he’s a cop. If he knew who I was, he’d never save me. He’d lock me up and force me to betray my family.
