NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
PART 1: GUARDING THE BROKEN
Annabelle Spencer's life is every girl's dream. She has wonderful parents, great friends, and of course the perfect boyfriend, Jack Roberts. But her dream life turns into a nightmare when, on the night of her sixteenth birthday, Jack is murdered right in front of her, and she's kidnapped by his murderer, Carter Thomas, and held for ten months.
Three years on and Anna is no longer the happy-go-lucky girl that everyone used to know and love; she's now cold, hard and suffers from night terrors. It appears that, during her time with him, Carter broke not only her body, but her spirit too.
Carter is currently serving time for the murder of Jack, a conviction that Anna helped secure. But his retrial is coming up because some key evidence appears to have been tampered with. Needing to ensure his daughter's safety, Presidential Candidate, Senator Spencer tasks in Ashton Taylor, a newly qualified SWAT agent, to guard the broken girl and keep her safe until the end of the trial.
For three years Anna has refused to feel emotion or pain, but can Ashton help her rebuild her life and finally deal with the grief of losing her childhood sweetheart? Will he be the one to make her see that life is, in fact, worth living and that not all men will hurt her?
Author's note: Part 1 and 2 were previously published in 2013 as one novel of epic proportion. Nothing Left to Lose was runaway bestseller that had people all over the world falling in love with Agent Ashton Taylor. Now split into two full-length, more manageable novels and with beautiful new covers, you can fall in love with Anna and Ashton all over again or witness their heart wrenching journey for the first time. Part 2 (Blurring the Lines) is a direct continuation of this novel and will not be put onto Wattpad in its entirety - sorry!! I am not allowed to add it here for free when it's being sold on Amazon, due to their terms and conditions.
Adairville, Tennessee, home of the Pirates, and Magdilyn Jones. A Junior and a total tomboy.

Now she's a bulldozer when it comes to love, but all of that is about to change. Jill Thompson, her best friend, proposes a bet. A complete transformation, all the works, hair, make-up, and especially her baggy hand-me-down clothes. In return, Jill will find her three blind dates to go on, and she wasn't taking no for an answer.
