For those of you who read "The Perfect Wife" this takes place twelve years after the epilogue. You do not need to read TPW, but an understanding of the story is helpful.

Carlisle ran a human trafficking ring. He was an abusive husband and father. Esme suffered cruel and horrific atrocities at her husband’s hand. Her sons, Emmett, Jasper and Edward were raised to treat her no better than a slave; undeserving of love and respect. Rosalie, Alice and Bella are brought into this life as their wives and together these women fight to change their outlook on life and women. At the end of TPW, Em/J/E have learned to change and passionately love and respect their wives.
