The Darkest of Shadows

Some secrets were better kept in the darkest recesses of our mind. Lilly's past was one big secret, one big terrifying reality that threatened to drag her into the blackest depths of insanity. The only way for her to escape was to leave it all behind. A new path. A new country. A new job. A new life. But would it be enough, especially when the rest of the world continued to encroach on her protected little bubble of existence. It took Lawrence Monterey one meeting to know that there was something special about Lilly. Something worth the trouble and the heartache of fighting through her past to find out who she really was. And if anyone could do it, then it was Lawrence. He had the money, the power and the patience to make sure that Lilly came through the darkness and became his in every way possible. Tragedy can break people, but love can bring them back from the brink and just possibly build a stronger wall between life and that dangerous darkness that threatened to end the pain of living. Would Lilly’s past break her, or would Lawrence lead her out of the darkness and back into the light?
