Troy had her fooled. He seemed such a nice guy at first, but soon became controlling. Control turned to abuse and abuse to stalking. He tried to kill her. He’ll try again. 
 
Lance Wilkes hurt Zoe far deeper. He protected her, said he loved her. Like her biological father, he abandoned her when she needed him most. He can’t be trusted.
 
This time there’s a child involved. If either man learns that the father’s identity is still in question, they will stake their claim. She mustn’t let that happen.
 
To complicate matters, the dream is back. It’s maddening. Her haven - the only safe place from pain and torment - lies some - where at the bottom of her dream’s mysterious staircase. If only she could gain access again. 
 
Can Zoe keep herself together for the sake of her child? For sanity’s sake? When will the tug-of-war over her end? Will she ever find her refuge?
