Like everyone else, he let me down, so when he shows back up, our reunion is explosive.

Now that everyone knows the depraved acts I’ve endured, I’m faced with disloyal friends and heinous cruelty when I return to Fox Pines.

I could run. Hide like a coward. But my veins pump with molten determination to take control of my life, and with the support of five boisterous mates and a new quirky friend, I try to ignore the bullying and focus on what really matters.

Staying alive long enough to witness my brother and dad’s demise.

The trouble is, I’m a ticking time-bomb. The anger boiling within me is terrifying, to the point I wonder if I’m just like the monsters in my family. Ayden doesn’t care though, his pursuit relentless as he breaks down my walls, determined to win me back, and keep me safe at the same time.

He may be too late though, as I stare down the barrel of a gun for the second time, I’m left wondering if I’ll ever get the chance to tell him how I really feel.
