Georgia has always held a fascination for the Middle East. With little money and nothing to keep her home, she seizes the chance to teach English in Abassa. 

The country is everything she imagined, authentic and so different from anywhere Georgia has been before. Sure, it has its issues-but it's safe. The violence in the east is far away, and as for the local terrorist group-it's harmless.

Until it's not.

After a vicious attack throws the country into chaos, Georgia is taken hostage. The mystery surrounding her kidnap gradually unravels and she discovers help in an unlikely place. 

Soon Georgia finds herself fleeing across the desert, her fate in the hands of a man who both despises and cares for her.

My Beautiful Boy ✔️ by depressedn0nce

Alayna moans desperately, gripping my shoulder blades as I slowly guide myself inside of her. We're both gasping into each other's mouths, and my hands are in her hair as I push a little deeper into her. Alayna's eyes flutter to a close and her head rolls back as I edge out and thrust back into her, as gently as I can. I take one of her hands into mine, threading our fingers together as my chest glides across her breasts as I push into her, multiple times. We're moaning and groaning and Alayna is clawing her nails down my back, leaving a trail of sweet pain and marks. My face is buried in her neck as I press soft kisses to her skin and Alayna's thighs tighten around my waist, causing me to fall deeper inside of her. ------------------------------------------------------ Alayna Camila wasn't prepared to see a boy being beaten up behind college grounds. She also wasn't prepared to recognise him as the quiet boy at the back of the classroom. When she helps him, she realises that they're not as different as they thought they were.

As they get closer and as they console each other in the pains of their past, both Alayna and Dawson fall deeper and deeper into a love that consumes them. But, Dawson is too broken to be loved and knows he won't be able to love her back. Alayna is willing to put everything at risk to show him that he can be loved- with catastrophic results. Can Alayna and Dawson fight against all odds and prove that they belong together? 🫶 First book in the 'Devotion Series'. Can be read as a standalone. Started: 23 June 2023 Completed: 22 March 2024
