Description
Sometimes it’s sweeter to surrender.
I thought I was good at hiding from monsters.
I was wrong.
After being lost and abused in the foster system, I refuse to let my past break me.
I enroll in college, change my name,
and build a new life for myself.
I’m finally free.
Until the night I see him again and my world falls apart.
Layne Garrison. The guy who made high school a living hell.
He was more than a stormy-grey-eyed bully. He was cruel in ways I can never understand.
Now he’s back.
After a devastating attack, my sworn enemy becomes my savior.
When I learn his dark secrets, I can’t shake him.
But the past has a way of hunting me down.
As the darkness rises and comes for me
I have to face the truth and the lies I tried to leave behind.
Will I lose the only man I’ve ever loved, or will my past ruin my future as well?
