My name was Dr. Erica Hill. I was a victim, then a witness, and then I ceased to exist altogether.
I may still be breathing, but stripped of my identity, I have long since stopped living. I am invisible, and my life depends on my ability to stay in the shadows.
But he sees me.
Slate Andrews is the embodiment of everything I have been taught to avoid. He’s rich and famous, and one image of him with a woman would earn millions for any paparazzi lucky enough to snap it. He has vowed to protect me with his life, yet he exposes me with his every breath. I should be stronger and walk away. I should disappear. But I’m terrified he would come after me.
I’m on the run, determined not to take him down with me but absolutely unable to let him go.
My name is Riley Peterson…at least for today.

I honestly don't know how Riley aka Erica was able to live with Leo for as long as she did. I know she felt some kind of thanks for saving her, but he also stood by and watched, in fact, he stood guard while they attacked her viciously.
That said, I could also feel her love towards him, and the need to protect each other.
This is a darker read, and has to do with Erica witnessing a murder, then been kidnapped, raped repeatedly, before she was able to escape them killing her.
They have been looking for her ever since, and she has been running from town to town, city to city with different identities each time. So many in fact, she's forgotten who she is. That is until she meets Slate.
Not only does her scare away her demons, but he helps her move forward. In the coming end, he is the hero in her story.
When the time comes, and Riley's past catches up with, she needs to be strong enough to fight back, to fight for her life back, because she might be alive, but she wasn't living.
It was a gripping story, and have read it a few times by now. I'm also glad we got Leo's book, because it made me look on him completely different.
