Helen Hardt

Freed Helen Hardt

When you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere to go...

Dale Steel has spent his life running from the horror of his past, so he's completely unprepared for horror to follow him into the present. But that's exactly what it's done. His only hope is his love for Ashley White, so he grabs hold with both hands, determined to escape his bleak existence.

Ashley is so in love she can't see straight. Dale--and the thrall he holds over her--has given her a new outlook on sex and relationships, and she's all in. Things are finally falling into place.

But Ashley and Dale's troubles are far from over. An untimely death disrupts their hopes at happiness, followed by a phone call that leaves Dale even more grief-stricken. He must make an important decision. Two roads lie in front of him, but only one will free him.
