    Summary

    Clara Edwards wants nothing more than to help her loving husband, James, earn enough money to move them into a larger home, so they can finally start the family that she's been dreaming of. She manages to secure a position as a maid in the household of the wealthy, well-respected De Luca family, but on her way home, she's attacked by a man, and left traumatized. Clara hopes that she can just forget the assault and try to move on, but on the first day of her new job, she meets her attacker once more, and he has no intention of letting her go this time.

    As Adriano De Luca continuously uses her for his own enjoyment, Clara is slowly dragged further and further into a dark world, and she struggles as her guilt and self-blame begins to slowly affect her marriage. She's desperate not to get caught in Adriano's ambitions, but it's all she can do to even keep the abuse from James. While she navigates through a new life of pain, fear, and blood, Clara tries to buckle down and find a way out that will keep her and her husband safe, but a young French housewife can only do so much against the mafia...
