Breaking Free - Harper Cross

Angel has spent years trapped in a nightmare, suffering beneath the abusive hands of her husband, Frank. But when Frank comes home one night, high and drunk, ready to dole out another round of punishment, something inside Angel snaps. Finding a strength she never knew she had, she escapes with her children, fleeing thousands of miles away to a new city where she knows only one person: Antonio.

Antonio, a successful businessman by day and a ruthless assassin by night, left his small-town roots-and Angel-behind years ago. He's built a life of secrets and solitude, keeping everyone at arm's length. But when Angel shows up out of the blue, the walls he built around his heart begin to crumble. Now, he must face the life he thought he'd left behind and the woman he let go.

With old wounds resurfacing and danger closing in, Angel and Antonio are forced to confront the demons of their past. Can they find redemption and rebuild the life they once dreamed of, or will the shadows of their past tear them apart again?

This is a gripping tale of survival, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds of love.
