Survivor

For a brief moment, we had it all. Even though he was leaving to join the Marines and I had four years of college ahead of me, he was everything I ever wanted, but didn't think I deserved.

But real life has a way of dashing dreams-and that happy future we envisioned together? It disappeared at the hands of a monster.

Ten years have passed, and I'm not the same naïve girl who believed in happily-ever-afters. When my mother passes away and I find myself caring for my two teenage brothers, the last thing on my mind should be reconnecting with the hottie-turned-hero who I loved at seventeen.

If I want a second chance at his heart, I'll have to trust him with the secrets that tore us apart.

This is a FULL-LENGTH, STANDALONE, with NO CLIFFHANGER.

Please note there is a graphic scene that may be a trigger for some.
