JoAnne prepares to leave her abusive husband, Earl, after he hits her and takes her prized jeweled saddle. She transfers money, books stalls for horses, and calls her Uncle Dallas. Despite her fear, she's determined to end her eight-year marriage and finally be free.
JoAnne works with Midnight Lightning, the stallion she secretly trained. Diego Mendez arrives to help her, installing a gate and changing locks. She discovers Earl stole her saddle. Diego reveals he'll stay to protect her, rekindling their childhood friendship.
Daniel Mendez joins his twin, Diego, at JoAnne's property. JoAnne explains how Earl never learned she could ride horses because he never listened. The twins commit to helping her through the divorce, and JoAnne reflects on growing up alongside them and their shared losses.
Step into the shadows of the human mind and confront what lies beneath civility. The Monster isn’t just a story; it’s an awakening. Every page pulls you deeper into darkness, daring you to question your own reflection. Once you begin the journey, there’s no turning back.
