The Associate by Alice Claire

It has been fourteen years since I left. My father took everything from me. He destroyed my childhood and forced my mother and I to run. I thought I could escape this nightmare, but the past always catches up.
I am no longer the same girl I was when I left. My father dragged me back but this time I won’t run.
I’ve changed. I had to. The world I live in now isn’t for the faint of heart.
I never thought I would see Mason again, let alone in a bar on the outskirts of town. He doesn’t recognize me and I don’t blame him. I have changed everything about who I once was.
Mason Hawthorne was the only man I trusted, the man I thought would always be there. Now I need him to do the unthinkable for me. I am not asking for protection. I am asking for him to help me take down the monster I once called dad.

The question is, can I trust Mason to keep my secret or will he betray me for the family that raised him?
