Asylum

Summary

Asylum Matthews has devoted his life to his wife, stepdaughter, and the safehouses and protection he provides the city of Memphis. When his wife disappears without a trace, leaving behind signed divorce papers—and her daughter—Asylum’s world is tilted on its axis.

Dauterive Jersey married the wrong man, and she’s suffered silently because of it. The free-spirited, independent woman has been dying for an escape. When she finally has the courage to divorce her husband, he vows to make her pay with an age-old threat: if he can’t have her, no one can.

When Dauterive needs protection, Asylum offers his assistance without knowing who she is or what’s going on. The second they are in each other’s presence, memories of their time together rush to the surface, allowing a love they stifled to finally breathe again.

Will it be easy for this second chance love to bloom, or will it wither and die and put both of their lives on the line?
