In the beginning they wanted two things: lasting love and to win the Kentucky Derby. But life takes odd-and sometimes terrible-turns.
Twenty-six-year-old Annika has it all: beauty, money, a great career, and a wealthy husband who seems to adore her. Or perhaps obsesses over her, might be a better description. She sacrifices everything to escape. Now her husband wants his sex slave back-or he wants her dead. Either one will do.
Annika is running for her life when she encounters Ray O'Brien, the man she once loved with all her heart, and the man who betrayed her. She has never forgiven him.
Ray seems to have it all, including a Derby contender.
Annika's past is closing in fast. To survive, she'll have to make the most dangerous choice of all: disappear again-or use Ray as bait in a game of revenge.
