ANDREA

She was raised in a house that called itself a family-but what she knew was survival.

At twenty, Andrea has endured more cruelty than most see in a lifetime. Trapped in a home filled with manipulation, abuse, and secrets, her days begin with cooking breakfast for people who hate her and end with bruises she hides behind silence. Tammy, the woman she's forced to call "Mother," Rosette, her venomous stepsister, and Sean, the predator who lurks too close-none of them know that Andrea is planning to run. She doesn't know where she's going, but she knows she has to leave.

When Andrea finally escapes, battered but burning with quiet resolve, she stumbles into the arms of a stranger-an enigmatic, wealthy man with a surprising proposition: become a surrogate, no strings attached. But nothing is ever truly without strings. As their lives intertwine, Andrea discovers what it means to be seen, to be wanted, and maybe, to be loved.

But the past doesn't let go easily. And when Tammy comes looking, Andrea must decide whether to fight for the life she's beginning to build-or disappear again.

"Andrea" is a powerful tale of survival, self-discovery, and a love born from the ashes of pain. Perfect for readers who crave raw emotion, fierce resilience, and hard-won happy endings.
