Escape

Escape
By Bethany Black

Anna thought she married her forever love.
Mike was the boy she fell for in high school, protective, funny, full of dreams for their future. But when a devastating injury cost him his job, the man she loved slowly disappeared, replaced by a stranger with a bottle in his hand and anger in his eyes.

With two small children to protect, Anna begins to plan the impossible, an escape so carefully constructed that not even Mike will see it coming. A secret hunting property. A hidden camper. Supplies for two months. And a getaway car no one knows exists.

But freedom comes with its own fears. Nights in the woods are haunted by every creak, every shadow. And just when she dares to believe they're safe, Mike finds them.

Help arrives in the form of Ben, a steady, protective officer who's been quietly watching out for Anna all along. With his help, she fights not just for survival, but for custody, safety, and the chance to build a new life.

As Ben becomes part of her world, and her children's hearts, Anna begins to believe in love again. But the past isn't easily left behind. It will take courage, trust, and the power of forgiveness to truly escape it.

From the terror of a midnight confrontation to the warmth of a family rebuilt, Escape is a gripping, emotional story about a woman's fight to protect her children, the man who stands beside her, and the unexpected redemption that changes all their lives.
