Her Sanctuary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798215048023)

Lilly Watson had run from her abusive boyfriend to protect herself and her son Luke. She thought she had found a safe haven living at her sister's house, but she was wrong. A chance encounter leaves her hovering on the verge of death, unable to protect herself or her son.
Anthony Sharp works the school beat, and is notified of a boy abandoned at the school, a pre-k student named Luke. After careful questioning, he discovers where Luke and his mom live. Arriving at the home, Anthony finds her all but unresponsive in the tub, where she had been left after being brutally beaten.
Anthony manages to get Lilly to the hospital just in time to save her life, but will that be enough to earn her trust? Or will Lilly's well-honed survival instincts kill any chance they have at happiness?
