Beatrice Halifax's entire life has been controlled, sheltered inside the four walls of her family's house she had no hope of ever escaping. Until she was given an opportunity. One year to live her life in freedom. One year that would end in marriage. But just when the year is about to conclude a new man comes to town, one who threatens to completely unravel Beatrice's world. Lies surface and trust is broken as Beatrice is forced to face the truth about her family's past. Power corrupted this game, now she's the only one who can stop them.

I stormed out of the car, it was childish and immature, but I was so frustrated, I wanted Beau to say yes, I wanted it to be easy and carefree and I wanted to be united. I wanted the decision I just made to feel like it was the best decision but all I felt like was that I impulsively left one emotional situation right into the mouth of the lion.


"That was a really stupid decision, Beatrice," Javier spoke coming around the rounded corner of the entryway as the front door closed behind me. "A really, really, really stupid decision."


"Javier..." I stuck my hands out in front of me warding him off, but it didn't stop his slow prowl boxing me into the wall.


"Was I not clear of the consequences Beatrice? Was I not clear enough when I told you what would happen if you didn't choose me? Was this all a joke? All a game in your head?"


"Javier please let me explain," I said my back was bumping up against the wall startling me.
