About this book

Summary

She was his property, his prize, his to command. For three years, Cressa lived for a man who saw her as a tool, a transaction. But when he demands an unforgivable act, a long-suppressed spark of defiance ignites. One word—"No"—is all it takes to shatter her world. Now, bruised but not broken, Cressa is on the run. Her escape leads her to an unexpected sanctuary: the vibrant, world of a Renaissance Pageant. Here, she finds kindness from skilled strangers, safety in the rustle of handmade gowns, and a flicker of hope. She is taken in by Esther, a brilliant costumer, and Jenna, a fiercely protective tutor, who begin to stitch her back together, one thread at a time. Plus another of Jenna's students: Brayden, has a charm that has caught her heart. But her past has a long reach. Dalton and his crew are hunting her. Can she trust the safety she’s found? Can she truly have a renaissance of self when her past refuses to let her go? Sexual Violence at beginning, referenced after.
