He owned the prison in a week.
Now he's decided he owns her.

She's been Anna Vale for eleven days.

Anna: Three years on the run have taught me to be boring, forgettable, invisible. A six-week nursing contract at the most dangerous prison in the state was supposed to be the perfect place to disappear.

Then they dragged him in, hooded and bleeding, with eight broken guards behind him.

A man with no name. No file. No past.

And the moment he looked at me, I knew he could see straight through the lie I'd built my life on.

Him: She was never supposed to be mine.

For thirty years there's been nothing but noise in my head. Violence. Revenge. Blood.

Then a tiny nurse with freckles and trembling hands walked into that infirmary, and for the first time in my life, the world went quiet.

Every guard in this place can be bought. Every door can be opened. And every rule she hides behind will fall.

She can run as far and as fast as she likes.

There isn't a cage in this world that can keep me from her.

Run, little bird. It changes nothing.
