    About this ebook

    A politically ambitious young man, Travis Foxford hears 19-year-old Bettie Lou Pierce's cry for help and immediately vows to protect her from a volatile husband. Travis aids in her escape and even gives her a safe haven in which to stay - forever if she likes.

    And what does this handsome and successful man want in return? Oh, nothing much.

    Maybe just her soul.
