Overcome (Cunningham Security #2)

It only took a matter of moments for Lexi Townsend to become a statistic.

Rape victim.

Ninety-eight seconds later, someone else became the next one in six.

Her pleas of ‘no’ were overshadowed by the dress she wore and the kisses she enjoyed. Her power was taken. Her trust was lost. Her bubbly personality was smothered by the depressing weight of shame and guilt.

She became silenced. Silenced by fear. Fear that she’d be a disappointment to her family for her failure. The perfect family she’d destroy if they knew her truth. The truth that meant she’d be tied to this identity for the rest of her life.

Four years later, Lexi has made a choice. Having made tremendous strides in her recovery, she finds herself yearning to get back to the former version of herself. A stronger version. One who is no longer afraid to share her story. One who can trust again, become the owner of her body, and give it freely to whomever she chooses. She will no longer remain frozen as a victim, but emboldened as a survivor.

When Cruz Cunningham comes into her life, he proves he’s a man that’s deserving of the gift she wants to give him.

Not her body, but her trust.

When multiple women in Windsor go missing, it rocks the town and launches Cruz and the Cunningham Security team into action. As Cruz digs deeper into the investigation, he’s torn between remaining focused on finding the missing women and keeping the woman he loves safe. Putting her faith in Cruz, Lexi never imagines that this case could threaten to destroy everything she’s worked so hard to overcome.
