The Girl That Would Be Lost

Jake would protect her with his life, but would he be too late?

I couldn’t remember what it was like to be a child. That innocence was stolen from me at the tender age of nine. The one bright spot I had in foster care was Jake. But nothing good ever lasted long. All too soon, he was taken from me, and once more, I found myself treading water to keep from drowning.

Then I met Richard. The golden boy who promised me the world but only gave me more of the same terror I’d known growing up. There was only one way to escape my husband’s grasp…run and never look back.
So here I was, thirty, alone, and fighting to stand on my own.

Would I be able to find the happiness I’d dreamed of, or would Richard find a way to pull me back under?
