At 24 years old, Erica Pattinson never saw herself as a victim.

Trapped in an abusive marriage where she is beaten, demeaned and suffers every type of torment imaginable, she tries to find an out-an escape.

When Thomas (Tom) Clarke rolls into town and discovers that his best friend's wife is in the hospital after a terrible "fall", he knows that something is amiss.

The two never expected for Erica's husband to refuse her freedom or the fact that hero and survivor would develop more than a simple friendship in this thrilling tale of love and courage.All Rights Reserved

She worries that she would be termed ''broken" for the rest of her life and would never get the epic love she had always dreamt of. Thomas was never the corny one. So, why on earth would he tell Andrea that he would always be hers? It was completely impossible to not fall in love with Andrea. His interest was beyond the 24-year old's alluring looks; it was her energy, her aura, her personality. For Andrea, she may have found someone who understood her and would be patient with her. Thomas is everything she had ever wished for, but his reticence and taciturnity stands in between them. She wonders if she would ever be able to heal his past wounds or would ever get him to open up about it. Would the past affect the epic love they both are destined to have? Yours, always is a novel that reminds one of the possibilities of second chances and the presence of strength in showing vulnerability. It revolves around the themes of love, friendships, racism, mental health and family relationships.
