This book is available to purchase on Amazon. WARNING: This book has an over-protective and possessive hero as well as a cliff-hanger ending. Part two will soon follow which will have a conclusive ending and no cliff-hanger. "I'll take care of you forever." He whispers, pulling me towards him. "I'll protect you and keep you safe as long as I'm alive. I don't care if you're broken or how damaged you are because I'll fix you. Nothing in this world will take me away from you. You're mine. " - Luke. He's always been there to protect me. He's the one who still holds me in the dark. He's sacrificed everything to take care of me, putting my own happiness before his own. No one can figure out our friendship because they don't know about the secret we share. It haunts me every day and I don't know how much longer I can hold it all inside. Luke acts like it didn't happen, trying to focus on our future instead of the darkness from our past. I wish I could do the same but know we can't pretend anymore. We have to face up to what we did that night and deal with the consequences of our actions. No matter what happens... we have to stop running. ***This New Adult Romance contains mature themes, strong language and possible triggers regarding sexual abuse that may distress some readers.

She thought he was perfect, but perfect doesn't exist. Alex had never been in love. Never been kissed. Never even held a boy's hand. So when Ben (the charming, confident, older man) swept into her life, it felt like fate. He said all the right things. Made her feel special. Claimed he was keeping her safe. At first, she believed him. When he checked her phone, it was because he cared. When he told her what to wear, it was because he loved her. When he got really angry, it was her fault, wasn't it? She should've known better. Shouldn't have talked to that guy. Should've texted back faster. Should've listened to him. Then the first slap came. Then the apologies, and promises it wouldn't happen again. But it did. It kept happening. Ben doesn't love Alex. He owns her. And she's learning, slowly and painfully, that love doesn't leave bruises. Love doesn't monitor your every move. Love doesn't isolate you from your friends and family, punish you for breathing the wrong way, or force you to beg for kindness that never lasts. But by the time she sees it for what it is, she's already trapped. And Ben doesn't plan to let her go. Not without a fight. ⚠️TW⚠️Domestic Violence ⚠️TW⚠️ Sexual Assault ⚠️TW⚠️ Emotional and Mental Abuse This is copyright so if you see anyone taking my book please help a girl out and let me know.
