Trinity Holland stares at the screen in horror when she sees her barely recognizable, bruised, and bloodied face flash across the television. She scrambles to turn up the sound as the female news anchor delivers the news that brings her world crashing down.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you a breaking news story. It has been reported that Willie Lee Curtis Senior has escaped from a maximum-security Alabama prison and has been on the run since approximately 2:30 this morning. Curtis was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the murders of 3 young women and the assault of then activist and student journalist Trinity Holland. Holland interviewed Curtis back in 2003 when the self-professed "White Christian Separatist" and members of his church were involved in a bloody brawl at a civil rights march at the State's capital. Curtis plead guilty avoiding the death penalty and was sentenced to life in 2006.
All the years of coping with the sleepwalking and night terrors, are null and void in a matter of seconds. Over 15 years have passed and it's like she narrowly escaped with her life just yesterday. First, the love of her life rejects her and now, the nightmare of her past threatens her present-and future. Will the man that stormed out of her hotel room and her heart less than an hour ago help her battle the same demons that made her fall in love with him in the first place. Or, will she truly have to face her biggest nightmare alone?

Becoming His
Cover by: @Enny101 Christian DeLuca is a very successful businessman with little regard for anyone he doesn't consider family, he's found work and life easier this way. What happens when he finds himself consumed by one thing, or rather one person, Alesha Moore. His plans are to get her, keep her and never let her find out about his title as a kingpin in the Italian mafia. *** "Alesha, where do you think you're going?" he asked in a deep and unsettling tone. "I just saw you commit mass murder Christian. I can't be a part of this world, your world. I'm not built for this life, if this is who you are then.." I let out a humorless chuckle. "I couldn't stomach today let alone the rest of my life. I need to leave, and you need to let me." My voice was so low, even breaking toward the end. Each word provoked tears to spill from my eyes and even more came rushing when I could see how what I said must've felt like daggers to his chest. "You can either stay and talk to me or calm down outside and we'll talk when you're ready, but you are NOT leaving me." His once sexy, endearing voice turned cold and sent frightening shivers throughout my body and I don't know who was staring back at me, but I could no longer see my Christian, not the man I love. *** This book contains mature language AND images, if you find that unsettling, I promise this is not the book for you 😬Complete
