Beautifully Broken

One thing I know—the past doesn’t stay buried forever.

I didn’t plan to fall in love with River, but I couldn’t resist her strength and determination to survive no matter what.

She’s feisty and sharp—everything I never knew I needed.

When I found her, scared and abused, I realized I would do anything to protect her. We’re from completely different worlds, but that didn’t stop me from giving her my heart.

Loving her gave me peace from the pain and secrets that hide inside me.

But someone took her from me, and I’ll tear the world apart until I find her. Everything I thought was true is a lie. Deceit and betrayal lurk around every corner, and I no longer trust the people who raised me.

Now I’m searching for the love of my life while gut-wrenching memories unfold, and I realize in order to save her, I have to crawl into the pit of hell and face the darkness.
