Bitter Taste Of Love

Zoe Shaw’s childhood was anything but perfect. Zoe, her sister, Pam, and their mother, Martha, were terrorized by Otis Shaw. The man that vowed to love and protect them had become a drunken, abusive animal that took pleasure in their suffering. But when he begins to look at Zoe with lover’s eyes, she finds herself taking drastic measures to ensure that he’ll never hurt any of the Shaw women again, or so she thought. In an attempt to put distance between them and the ghost that haunts them, Zoe uprooted the family and moved down south. Their new home offered everything the Shaw women ever wanted; peace, security, opportunity, and even the possibility for love. When Ramon Martinez introduced himself to Zoe, the attraction was undeniable. Despite her better judgement, she allowed herself to fall for the uncommonly handsome business owner. What she didn’t realize was that he was also the product of an abusive home, but unlike her, he chose to follow the example set by his father. Ramon’s jealousy and insecurity led him to deliver painful consequences for what he deemed inexcusable behavior. His abuse and whispers from the past now threaten to destroy not only Zoe, but Pam and Martha as well. The question now is who will survive this battered love?
