Gideon Cross. Falling in love with him was the easiest thing I've ever done. It happened instantly, completely, irrevocably. Marrying him was a dream come true. Staying married is the fight of my life. Love transforms. Our relationship is both a refuge from the storm and the fiercest of storms. Two damaged souls connected as one.

We have revealed our deepest, ugliest secrets to each other. Gideon is the mirror that reflects all my flaws and all the beauty I couldn't see. He has given me everything. Now I must prove that I can be the rock, the protection for him, just as he is for me. Together we could stand against those who maliciously try to come between us.

But our greatest struggle may lie in the vows that give us strength. Committing to love was just the beginning. Fighting for it will either free us or tear us apart.
