Saviour

She's a smart mouthed, sassy Essex girl now living in Australia. He's a hot womanising, all surfing, beer drinking Aussie bloke. Lauren has been in a passionate marriage for over twenty years. She is successful, outwardly confident, and seems to have it all. On the inside, though, she harbours what she considers to be a humiliating secret. She is a victim of domestic violence and is terrified of her husband. Despite this fact, she is struggling to walk away from her marriage. After a few too many shots on a girls' night out, she confesses everything to her besties, and they help her decide to leave her husband the following day. Gabriel Wilde walks into a bar for a few Friday night beers with his brothers. The last thing he expects to find is the woman of his dreams, a woman who is as broken as him on the inside. They exchange numbers and agree to meet up the next morning so Lauren can view a property Gabe owns that Lauren may want to rent from him. On returning home that night, Lauren is brutally attacked by her husband. She escapes into the night with just the clothes she's wearing and her mobile phone. Who will become Lauren's Saviour? Originally from a small town on the Thames outside of London, Lesley Jones moved to Australia a few years ago and now lives with her family near Melbourne, Australia. She is a stay-at-home mum.
