Marcus Garavito, a rapist and child molester,  is on trial for being released on good behavior. Sebastian, a rape victim of Marcus', reads the news and is terrified. Sebastian saw the news in the paper, and is terrified. Sebastian has buried his past so deep down, and he's afraid to remember it. He hasn't told anyone about his past. Not even his wife and kids. He's afraid to testify not only because he'll have to see Marcus, but because of what people might think of him. Will people call him weak and damaged? Dirty and used? Pathetic and disgusting? Will his family judge him? Or worse, pity him?

 Decective Stark is on the case of looking for living victims of Garavito. Sebastian tells Stark his story, but Stark still needs him to testify. Sebastian doesn't think he can or should do it because that is apart of his life he doesn't want to relive again and he doesn't want his family to know. 

Marcus says in court that he is a changed man for the better and apologizes, but is he really a changed man?

Mia Brown believed she had her heart safely guarded, wrapped tight under layers of resilience. Life had taught her that trusting too deeply could lead to heartbreak, and dreams didn't always come true. She knew it was safer to rely on herself, to focus on her work and keep her emotions locked away. But a quiet longing stirred beneath her resolve, whispering dreams of a love so deep and true that it would feel like home. And then, there was Alex Walker. From the moment their paths crossed, something shifted in Mia-a warmth, a spark she couldn't ignore. Alex was magnetic yet grounded, a man of strength and subtle tenderness, with eyes that seemed to see into the guarded corners of her heart. He had a way of challenging her walls with every smile, every unspoken word, breaking down the defenses she'd built over time. Mia didn't believe in fairy tales, and yet, as she looked out into the future, there was a flicker of hope, fragile yet undeniable, that maybe she had found something real. Something she hadn't known she'd been searching for. But what if love was more than a feeling? What if it required trust, patience, and a vulnerability she had never allowed herself? Mia's journey would ask her to let go, to be open, to choose love even when it felt uncertain. And in the quiet moments, as she dared to hope, a single, fervent thought lingered in her mind: Could he be mine? ꧁༒☬ ʙᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ ☬༒꧂ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

It was an impossible choice between a man chosen for her or a handsome stranger's solution - a temporary contractual marriage. Her choice left her facing devastating results, but will a second chance deliver her the man and the life of her dreams or crush her spirits for good? Jameson Wilder Hunter was handsome, powerful, elite, and utterly exhausted with life. He had everything he could want and yet it still wasn't enough. Until he met Lacey, whose sincerity beckoned him like a light through the darkness. Only she disappeared and took his heart with her. He wants her back, he wants to punish her. But will he still feel that way once he has her secured by his side again, or will she draw him back in just like she had the first time he laid eyes on her? Kia Ora, I plan to post the full story by the New Year (2024) and keep it available until March 2024 at which time I'll leave a sample and make available on Amazon. I'll update here if plans change.
