For years, Bishop had been terrorizing her father's church. She wanted nothing to do with him or his cruel nature. When he showed up drunk and covered in blood, everything would change between the two.

***

Bishop and his friends were the nightmare of Death Valley. Cain, the leader of their group, gained political and financial control of the town after high school. From this, the five boys found a loophole in the judicial system. Bishop took this to his advantage by taking his anger out on the single church in the town. The church Ethel's father preached at. She loathed him as much as he loathed her faith.

But, one night, he showed up drunk in the alleyway beside her church. She helped him to safety; from that night on, he decided he was going to have her.
