Summary
Buck survived months of captivity, torture and physical, psychological and sexual abuse at the hands of Michael Newstead.
Coming home, however, is not the same as getting his life back.
While his body slowly begins to heal, Buck has to learn how to live with the aftermath of his horrendous ordeal, how to accept help without surrendering control, and how to find his place in a family and a relationship that have both been changed by his absence.
Eddie wants to build a life with him, but love cannot erase trauma, undo what was done or protect either of them from every truth left buried in the aftermath.
Because Michael Newstead may be dead, but the damage he caused is still unfolding—and not every danger waiting for Buck belongs to the past.
---
or: A very dark and explicit story about Buck discovering that surviving prolonged captivity, torture and abuse does not mean the nightmare is over—especially when recovery comes with new limits, love comes with buried truths, and some dangers are much closer than anyone realises.Series
