Hope & Purpose (Wonderland #1)

He was my hope. I was his purpose.

I was eight years old when the man in the black suit stole me from the world. Ten years later, I wake up in the middle of a forest, barefoot and bloodied, with no memory of how I escaped the nightmare that shaped me.

I was given a second chance. I was given freedom. But at what cost? The world has moved on without me. I chase the remnants of a life that no longer fits, haunted by the ghosts of a past that refuses to let me go.

I start to think I'm hopeless, until I meet him.

Dominic Reynolds. Cold. Unyielding. Haunted. He wears his pain in the silence between his words, in the roughness of his hands, in the storm behind his eyes. I want to know what keeps him awake at night. What demons whisper his name.

Two lost souls who never belonged anywhere. Two shattered hearts finding purpose in each other.

But broken souls like us don't get happy endings.

Or do we?
