"The end to his story has already been written...Brad Steel made a promise to his wife and children-- to create a legacy born from his love for them and his desire to protect them from harm. It was a worthy ambition...But along the way, something went terribly wrong. Daphne Steel loves her husband beyond measure and will stand by him no matter what, even when it's more than she can deal with. She escapes when she must, still always putting Brad and their children first. Mysteries deepen, secrets are unveiled, and Brad vows to continue to protect his family at all costs. But is the price too high? The lies and misdeeds get easier and easier, until he descends to a place he swore he'd never go. There's no turning back, though, and his actions have consequences--for those he did everything to protect." -- Page 4 of cover.
