YOU CAN'T OUTRUN THE PAST... ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HUNTING YOU DOWN.
Tash has spent years rebuilding her life, turning her pain into purpose. As a self-defense instructor, she empowers women to protect themselves from men like him.
But the past refuses to stay buried.
An email shatters her world—her most intimate photos have been leaked onto a revenge porn site hidden in the dark web. She knows exactly who did it. Alex.
Her ex-fiancé. The golden boy. The senator’s son. The man who once held her heart—and now holds her darkest secret.
Years ago, Alex crossed a line that could never be uncrossed. A night of excess turned into something far worse, and Tash has spent every moment since trying to forget what they did. What he did.
Now, Alex wants her attention. He wants control. He wants to remind her that she will never truly be free of him.
But this time, Tash isn’t the same scared girl who let him manipulate her into silence. She’s stronger. Smarter. And she's ready to end this once and for all.
As she fights to reclaim her life, she finds solace in an old flame—Zach, the one that got away. With him, she glimpses the life she could have. A life where love doesn’t come with conditions. A life where she can finally be safe.
But as long as Alex is out there, safety is an illusion.
To protect herself—and the people she loves—Tash must confront the truth she’s buried for years. She must take back the power Alex stole from her.
And she must make sure he never hurts anyone again.
A gripping, unflinching psychological thriller about power, survival, and the reckoning every wronged woman deserves.
