Synopsis

In this book of suspense fiction, Melanie Fletcher flits from one bad relationship to the next, following an internal selection mechanism that steers her wrong every time. Then she meets the man of her dreams and marries him. It only takes a few months for Melanie to realize he's an abuser and a criminal with links to drug dealers, sex traffickers, forgers, and worse. Melanie runs for her life back to where it all began, her home. She needs to confront the demon who set her up for bad choices--her abusive, obstinate, drunk of a dad. Now he will set her up for the fight of her life.

Kirkus Reviews says - "McIntire's latest novel is a fast-paced and multilayered thriller with well-developed characters and colorful settings...Most of the action is set in Virginia, and McIntire does a fine job of capturing the rhythm of its small-town life, from the friendliness of local business to the calm of quiet nights on the water. An engaging tale for aficionados of psychological suspense."
