Sequel to PSYCHO Ainsley Ashter wore battle scars with pride, despite feeling like a curse. The guards on the Ark used to call her resilient because no matter what they did to her, it never once deterred her. The years in Solitary Confinement felt like a lifetime ago. She was prepared to die when she turned eighteen. Ainsley was never supposed to feel the sun on her skin, or breathe in the fresh air, or feel anything ever again. She was granted a second chance. A chance to live. To be free of the burden, her slate wiped clean. That maybe if she could, Ainsley could forget her parents and the horror they put her through, how their blood would forever be on her hands. The girl had little hope of seeing anyone that wouldn't treat her like a killer. A murderer was all she was ever going to be. Until John Murphy.
