It’s the perfect opportunity for revenge…if the nightmare doesn’t destroy her first.

Audrey Brock leads a golden life—until everything changes. Her husband falls for another woman, her best friend tires of her, and the alcohol and food that always helped her through the bad times turn her from svelte and beautiful to overweight and frumpy. When Audrey thinks things can’t get worse, a nightmare from her past resurfaces to test her resolve one more time. It’s the perfect opportunity for revenge…if the nightmare doesn’t claim her first. How much abuse can a person tolerate until they become the abuser? This is the question Audrey faces as she tries to get her old life back—ditching the weight, maybe finding a new guy, and doing whatever it takes to be Audrey again. Becoming friends with Diana helps. A fellow survivor, Diana helps Audrey find herself. When Audrey’s nightmare comes back to haunt her, Diana is ready to help her do whatever it takes to fight. As a desire for survival turns into a yearning for revenge, Audrey must figure out if beating her old adversary is worth the possibility of losing herself again, this time to the darkest facets of her psyche.
