Eva believed her wedding to Gideon would strengthen their bond, but marriage awakens old wounds instead. To Gideon, Eva represents salvation. To Eva, Gideon is her miracle. Yet hidden pain emerges as they begin their life together. Enemies from both their pasts strike at the newlyweds. Eva feels Gideon pulling away, confirming her worst fears about their relationship. Their marriage faces obstacles that test Eva's endurance. Dark threats from Gideon's history disrupt what should be their honeymoon period. These forces threaten to destroy everything Eva and Gideon built together. The couple must choose between two paths. They can return to the safety of their separate lives before they met. Or they can fight for a future together that seems impossible to reach.
