“Everyone will soon learn there is no saving Sammy.”

Sammy

When you fall in love, you assume you become their first choice, no matter what.

I know I did but I forgot I’ll always be second best.

After my brother’s best friend shattered my heart, I was vulnerable and lured into believing I was someone else’s first choice.

Too bad I didn’t see the Devil behind the mask until it was too late.

Now I’m on the run, doing whatever I must to save myself and my daughter..

The closer he gets the more help I need.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I just never dreamed it would come from the boy who refused to choose me in the first place.

Zak

I should have fought for her, put our love first but I didn’t.

She deserved more than someone like me.

Someone without a future.

I pushed her into the arms of another man sealing both our fates.

I’ve never believed in second chances until fate puts her in my path once again.

But she isn’t the same. 

She’s scared, using a fake name and has secrets.

I’m determined to do everything in my power to save them both because I refuse to make the same mistake twice.

3/12 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who enjoys heartfelt romance mixed with suspense, I found this story particularly gripping because it delves deeply into the themes of trust, survival, and the complexities of second chances. Sammy's journey as a single mother on the run from an abusive past highlights the terrifying reality many face and the lengths a parent will go to protect their child. The tension created by the constant threat of the 'devil' chasing them adds a thrilling edge to the narrative. Zak's character is a refreshing take on redemption; his realization of past mistakes and his determination to protect Sammy and her daughter despite the tangled history between them creates emotional depth. It’s relatable to anyone who has grappled with regret and hopes for forgiveness. The dynamic between Zak and the daughter is heartfelt—showcasing how unexpected bonds can provide hope even in the darkest times. Set in a small town, the environment feels intimate and personal, which intensifies the stakes for the characters. The story’s inclusion on Kindle Unlimited makes it accessible for readers who love exploring new, emotional romantic suspense tales. If you appreciate stories about overcoming trauma, complicated relationships, and the resilience of love, this book offers a compelling read that keeps you invested until the end.
