*This is NOT the full story. Just the first handful of chapters. The rest of the book is available for purchase on Amazon.*
**Update: the book is no longer available on Amazon as I am in the process of rewriting it. For the time being, I will keep this excerpt published until the new and improved version of Desperate Measures is complete and available for purchase, at which point I will upload the new first five chapters.**

Rhea:

It's been four years since we've spoken; four years since I've even seen him. And yet my body still responds like the last time we saw each other was yesterday.

But things are different now. I've changed, he's changed, and the world has changed. Nothing's the same as it used to be, and after what we saw that night all those years ago, it never will be.

Connor:

Four years. I've waited four years for this girl. I'm done waiting. She can move away, get engaged, and try as hard as she can to forget about that night, but she can never escape those memories.

Bad things happen in the dark. The only question is, which ones are you willing to bring into the light? Release your demons, Gorgeous. Let go. There's no point in denying it anymore. Desperate times, right?
