Rachel has a gun...
When a group therapy client at the Gastown Women’s Center threatens to shoot her abuser, therapist Rachel McKenna defuses the violence with a session at the punching bag. Later, she drives the city streets watching for hookers she recognizes, with bits of her own past floating in her consciousness.
There was a time when the fantasy of using her own gun to kill Lionel Richards was the only thing that kept her together. She still has the revolver.
To Annette Brayton, seduced into sexual phone fantasies from loneliness and desperation, Lionel Richards seems a knight on a white charger. Then, when he marries her and takes her to his remote island in the Pacific Northwest, her fairy tale dissolves into terror.
Meanwhile, Rachel struggles to destroy Lionel Richards before he destroys her, and to rescue the person who is most vulnerable—Richards' own daughter, Diane. But Richards has powers she never suspected. To survive, Rachel will need courage, luck, and the help of Devin Marshall - the stranger she has no reason to trust.
