Monica Sinclair is the ever proficient and compassionate personal assistant to the top ranking lawyers of the DC Branch of Metcalfe, Hart, al-Taysir, and Associates - she is also one of the ones helped by the Sanctuary Network. However, her past isn't as over as she and the others had previously thought. As she moves forward with her life, her ex-husband and his nightmarish family have found her again.

James Spencer has recently has his life turned upside down; the older half-brother he always idolized turned into a monster and his sister-in-law was forced to flee for not just her safety but also that of her unborn child. This has brought him into the Sanctuary Network, where he meets a kind, beautiful woman with a broken past and bruised heart.

Falling hard and fast for each other, they will have to deal with an ex-husband who's pride won't let him accept that his former wife left him and moved on. And that's not including the dark family secrets that caused her to flee in the first place...
