What would you do if your last chance was just a cover-up for lies and pure evil? 17 year old, Alice Gordon, has lived a troubled life. She's been in the foster system ever since she's been young. Running away from foster homes, skipping school and just overall delinquency are just a few things to list on her record. The system is about to give up on her, not to mention her birthday is coming up. No families want to take her in, except for one. A family who welcomes all kids, no matter how they're like. They are willing to give her another chance to make foster care work. Seems perfect, right? Sometimes when we are in the most scariest of situations, our only comfort is our Happy Place. _________________________________________________ This is not my photo.

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.
