I think one of the worst feelings is when you come to the realization that you're slowly drifting apart. You're slowly losing that one person who you thought you'd be with until you take your last breath. You're losing the one person who used to complete you, love you, make you laugh, make you smile, make you feel safe and secure, make you the happiest person on earth. But as I sit here now, watching our beautiful children, I try to pinpoint the exact point that we did drift in opposite directions. Your face flashes in my head, over and over, twisting the knife deeper into my heart. Maybe, just maybe, letting go would be easier than holding on, because holding on is causing me more pain than letting you go would. I can feel you slipping away just as I can feel the tears slipping down my cheeks. Quickly, quietly, sorrowfully. 

Join Caroline Bryan, Luke Bryan's wife, in this sequel to A Bond Never Broken as she endures the test of a true love's bond.

You never know the fear of falling until you fall, or the shame of tears until you cry, or to guard your heart until it's been broken. Desdemona Ezra, only child of the divorced couple Carrie and James, has been broken, again and again. Her father left her and her mom when she was just a kid, and life went on. But then he came back, in need of money and a place to stay, spouting lies of false love, daring to even pretend to care. When he left the second time, he left both Dess and Carrie broken and bleeding. Carrie needed stitches, and Dess was in a coma. When she awoke she was not the carefree girl she'd been before, and trust was not something she believed in. So she broke her boyfriend's heart before he could break her's, and was on her own, a completely different person. Then she met Nott, someone more like her than she could had possibly imagined. With a past as painful as hers, Nott steps into Dessie's life and turns it upside down. Her life had already been upside down, so Nott mended her bleeding heart and made her believe in love and trust. But it wasn't over yet, and when her past threatens her future and her barely healed heart, decisions must be made by all involved. Carrie is engaged, Dess is in love, and they are finally getting back on their feet when their love and faith are tested with reappearances of those once closest to their heart. Deceit, pain, longing, tears, lust, fear, love. Some lies are better of believed, and some doors are better off locked. Follow Dess, Nott, Carrie, Phil, and others through the fear, laughter, uncertainty, love, doubt, lust and friendship that, luckily or not, comes with being human.

I'll Come Back for You

Book is completed! ✅ * January 2, 2020: placed third in romance category for the Duck Awards! The crash that broke through the last of her desperate hopelessness, was merciful, or so they said. Merciful, indeed. Merciful, for now she knew how cruel that promise had been. How had she managed to hold onto those words, as the world around her fell to ash? He hadn't remembered her at all, and she doubted he dwelled on the indefinite promise he'd made her. He hadn't remained the same, that she knew. He had risen to the top, left her to watch from far below as he became the star he had always dreamed of being. To believe he would return for her just because he had said so was ludicrous. Yet, if by some twist of fate, he did come back? "I'll come back for you," he'd said. Those vague words would be her undoing. **Inspired by Max Schneider's song "I'll Come Back for You" **Please do not steal my writing. This story took years to get down on paper and so much hard work!
