After years of torment and pain, I'm just a shadow of the woman I once was. Even now, after months of freedom, the lingering aches of broken bones, and the memories of unspeakable horrors still keep me from living a life of peace. While I try my best to put back all the broken pieces, the last thing I need is another man-or so I thought. Jake is one of Hollywood's hottest, most popular actors. He's the kind of man a woman like me should avoid at all costs. But his determination to prove to me that happiness is more than just a shattered dream slowly starts to break down my defenses, and I start to hope that I might still be able to find love. Unfortunately, with a painful history like mine, hoping for a better future can turn out to be a huge mistake-especially when the demons of your past refuse to let you go.

Despite today's modern world, mental health is something which is still much of a taboo subject. Those who suffer from it are often too ashamed or embarrassed to talk about it and those who have never suffered from it lack the empathy and understanding to truly get where that person is coming from. This book, at time of starting, is being written by someone who has suffered from two decades worth of trials and tribulations leading to years of depression, anxiety and now, a psychotic episode. My aim here is helping to break the barrier between 'you' and 'us' in the hope that maybe, we can interlink a little better and tackle this shushed subject together. I will be focusing on well known facts, those not so well known and all illnesses which can affect anyone, at any point, at any age. To help bridge the gap between the two different sides, I will be allowing you a unique insight into my own mind, how I think, how I feel and what my real dark days consist of. I hope this book helps people on both sides of the invisible wall this world has built....

Glamorous, right? It was at least predictable, until a routine surveillance job went terribly wrong, placing me right smack in the middle of two rival vampires, and a lone hunter. And don't be fooled-monsters can be beautiful and deadly. No one is who they seem in this game of cat and mouse-and that includes me. ***Read the exciting first book in the series fans describe as "Twilight meets True Blood!"*** (PUBLISHED) Print*eBook*Audio
