The men in my life had undermined me for too long. Enough was enough. Fuelled by alcohol and the desire to get even, I decided a spot of petty vandalism would make me feel a whole lot better. Wrong. Very wrong... I hadn’t realised that Simon Fox was not a man to be messed with. He showed me just how much I still had left to lose. Soon I was battling for my home, family and life.Praise for Gemma Rogers:
