Every New Beginning

by Elizabeth Barrett

Ryanne Rivers is ready to start over. Her divorce was final a year ago, her ex-husband has moved a few hundred miles away, her children are finally adjusting to their new home life, she has resurrected her dormant career—and a man asked her out on a date! The long nightmare of her abusive marriage and the painful divorce are over.

Or not. Because when her ex-husband finds out she is dating, he reverts to his pre-divorce behavior—demeaning her, manipulating her, using the children against her, even threatening to take her to court to prove she is a bad parent. As she revels in her newfound love with a man who is everything her ex-husband was not, Ryanne struggles to hold onto all of the hard-fought lessons she learned when she freed herself from her controlling husband. But will standing up to him this last time be a lethal mistake?
