"Abuse is abuse, no matter how you disguise it." **warning: this book deals with serious topics that may be triggering for some readers such as verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. if this makes you uncomfortable or will put you in an unhealthy headspace, please DO NOT read. your health and happiness is more important to me than this story, so please listen to yourself and consider your personal boundaries** Caden Clarke deserves the world, with her sweet soul, gentle touches, and considerate ways. Unfortunately, she doesn't get that with Anthony- not even close. Yelling becomes constant and tears follow: bruises usually aren't that far behind. Manipulated into a twisted contract a year into their relationship, she feels overwhelmed by guilt and despair. A disastrous night out might be all Caden needs to open her eyes to what is truly going on in their relationship. Throw in some new friends and a handsome stranger, and Caden's life is about to take an unexpected turn.

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.
