The Slave's Secrets

It had been six years. Six years, since I had seen him. Six years, foraging through our memories to find something to preserve to keep myself persevering. Yet now, I regret it. Regretted the optimism I held throughout those torturous years; would it not have been better to cut all my ends loose, instead of drawling myself back into the past that haunts me with pain? That taunts me with the once flawless, beautiful reminiscences of Jace?
Six years ago, Jessica Darkwood had been maliciously snatched away from the loving home of her parents and her childhood best friend. But as she readies herself for the life she is to face as a slave on her 18th, it seems like fate has other plans for her. Other plans that involve the star crossed lover of her life; Jace Halestone.
As her world is set in collision with the past, dark reminiscences unravel once more, yet life is completely different; they're lives have grown distinctly apart. But is their reunified love strong enough to survive the cruel reality that is thrown at them?
