As an added bonus, they take his child—the one thing that matters most to him—just to remind him that they hold all the power.  \nBut Sage will never let them have any power over her.  \nThat’s why, the day before he’s sentenced to prison, Sage offers the only protection she can think to give him. Her hand in marriage.  \nFor seven years, Sage fights to get her husband-in-name-only free.  \nJust when she thinks she’s close, she gets the news. Her husband has died in a prison riot, leaving her free to marry another.  \nThat’s when she decides to run.  \nAnd where does her running take her? Right into the arms of a man who was supposed to be dead.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPROLOGUE  \nMy name isn’t Tom, but I’m Petty AF.  \n—T-shirt  \nRAMSEY  \nI sat in the college campus coffee shop and waited for Nadine to show.  \nShe was a professor at the University of Arkansas where she taught sociology.  \nShe, of course, was late.  \nReally, really late.  \nI glanced at my watch again and realized that she was so late that it likely meant that she wasn’t coming.  \nHow surprising.  \nIt’d been the same old song and dance ever since I’d found out that she was pregnant.  \nI’d been pretty neutral about finding out that she was pregnant.  \nIt wasn’t like I wanted kids—I was in the fuckin’ military for Christ’s sake with no end in sight—but I wasn’t opposed to having them.  \nWhen I’d found out, I’d said that I would be there every step of the way.  \nOnly, she hadn’t wanted me there every step of the way.  \nShe’d wanted me gone and never missed an opportunity to share that she didn’t want me there.  \nI’d had to fight for everything that I got timewise with my kid, and she
