SYNOPSIS:
There is a place in all of us where our deepest secrets lie in wait for their moment to surface, and surface they will.
After living through a real live nightmare, Olivia wants nothing but to forget. Forget and move on. But how do you forget something that has stained your soul and forces you to lie to your loved ones? Even if your intentions are to spare them the horrors of the truth?
Luke knows Olivia is not as recovered as she would have him believe. He can see the pain she tries to keep hidden behind her eyes, and knows she has not told him everything. But how do you save someone who won’t let you in? Where shame holds Olivia captive, Luke suffers through the guilt of not protecting the one person he loves more than anything.
Can two people who have suffered so dearly find a way to come together or will they risk the dreams they have placed in each other’s hearts? Can love find a way where forgiveness cannot?
EXCERPT:
“HELP! I’VE BEEN KIDNAPPED. SOMEONE HEL…”
Suddenly, I am grabbed from behind and dragged into the bedroom and thrown on the bed like a rag doll. I try to roll onto my back but instead a weight settles on my back, and my face gets shoved into the mattress.
“Shut the fuck up, bitch.”
The voice is not Deacon’s. I freeze as shock runs through my body from head to toe, paralyzing me in fear.
“Lover boy isn’t here to save you. It might be worth facing his anger to shut you up permanently.”
I don’t speak. I’m afraid to move. Who is this man? He moves off me so he can roughly flip me over. I stare up into his hard eyes. He’s not an attractive man. Light hair, pointy nose, and lips so thin they’re hardly there at all. He has a scar that runs from the tip of his eyebrow to the middle of his cheek.
“Leave me alone.”
“I don’t think I will… what does he call you? Princess? I don’t think I will, princess.” He says mockingly. Then, to my horror he runs his hand down the front of my body, squeezing my breasts painfully and then gripping my hip. His breathing starts quickening.
“No, please don’t touch me.”
“That’s right, beg, you bitch. Next time you will think twice about breaking the rules and trying to yell for help.”
Oh God. He’s going to hurt me, or worse. I do the only thing I can. I start struggling. I kick my legs like a three-year-old having a tantrum. I throw my head back and forth and get one of my hands loose and scrape my nails down the front of his face. “Let go of me!” I scream.
Christina says...
I am not sure I can put into words how much I loved this book. Watching the story of Olivia and Luke unfold is just beautiful. The love between these two characters is mesmerizing. I am not sure there is anything Luke would not do for Olivia, and trust me when you read this book you will see there is A LOT this man does for her. The struggles with Deacon add such depth to the story.I truly hate Deacon, but without him I am not sure this book would be as good as it is. I was holding my breath off and on throughout the whole book. And of course Olivia's Fiesty friend Pyper adds a lot of dimension to any scene. This girl had me cracking up more than once. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions. At times I was screaming NO NO NO .. other times I was all OMG NO HE DID NOT, and then there were the YES!! GO GO GO!!! There were plenty of tears as well while reading this book. Though my review might be short.. my star rating is NOT.. I give this book 5 stars. I truly hope you will take the time to go on this journey with Olivia. It is well worth every second you spend reading this book. I can not wait to read more from this author in the future!
