Obsessed Dedication Reveal

✨️❤️ Dedication Reveal ❤️✨️

"For anyone who had to learn the difference between love and survival"

Abby had to learn the hard way that sometimes surviving means leaving the ones you love behind...

But the past doesn't always stay in the past - and sometimes love can be a new form of survival.

✨️Obsessed✨️

🌻Abby

I didn’t have a choice when my parents dragged me away from the only home I’d ever known, and forbade me from contacting the one person who meant the world to me. I was forced to live a life I never wanted, with a man I could never love.

Somehow, I learned to survive it…

Until Jackson Taylor finds me.

He’s not the boy I remember. He’s stronger, sharper, and asking questions I can’t afford to answer. Being near him cracks open everything I worked so hard to bury - especially the truth about why I left and what I’ve been protecting all these years.

Because Wanting Jackson means risking everything.

And this time, losing him might cost more than my heart.

🏈Jackson

She vanished, gone like a ghost in the night, and I never stopped looking.

Abby Park was my first love. The girl who owned my heart before life ripped everything else away.

Eleven years later, I’ve built a life I can manage, surrounded by people I care about, while never allowing myself to need anyone too much.

Until I finally track her down.

She’s different. Guarded. Hiding something I can feel in my bones. And the more I push, the clearer it becomes that Abby didn’t leave me. She was taken.

I don’t just want answers, I want her.

And I won’t walk away again, not when the truth threatens to change everything I thought I lost forever.

Tropes:

🌻 Friends to Lovers

🏈 Second Chance

🌻 Found Family

🏈 Protective Hero

🌻 First Love

Coming March 3!

QOTD: Whats a book or dedication that called to you?

... Read moreReading the dedication of 'Obsessed' instantly reminded me of how much a heartfelt dedication can set the tone for a story. Abby’s experience of being torn away from her home and loved ones touches on the painful reality that sometimes survival demands difficult choices, even at the cost of love. This conflict is one many can relate to, especially when past trauma colors present relationships. What strikes me most about this story is the portrayal of love not just as a romantic ideal but as a means of survival itself—a powerful theme that adds depth beyond typical romance plots. Abby and Jackson’s narrative, which includes being forced apart, lost years, and eventual reunion, captures the essence of second chances and the complexity of human emotions tied to trust and protection. From personal experience, stories involving 'friends to lovers' and 'found family' tropes resonate deeply because they highlight the importance of chosen bonds alongside blood relations. It’s comforting to see these themes woven with a protective hero dynamic, especially since Jackson’s relentless search for Abby shows unwavering commitment—a quality that brings hope and emotional satisfaction. The dedication itself, "For anyone who had to learn the difference between love and survival," feels like a tribute to readers who have faced tough decisions or heartaches yet found strength to persevere. This line invites readers into the emotional core of the book and encourages reflection on what it means to love fiercely amidst adversity. Moreover, this novel's setup promises a gripping journey filled with suspense and heartfelt moments. The complexity of Abby hiding truths and Jackson uncovering them adds an intriguing layer of mystery and emotional stakes that kept me invested while reading about their stories. In sum, dedications like this not only honor emotional struggles but also enrich the reader’s experience by providing a lens through which to understand characters’ motivations and the narrative’s emotional landscape. If you enjoy romance that blends emotional depth with suspense, 'Obsessed' is definitely a title to look forward to.

A flat lay shows a cream knitted baby romper, white booties, and a children's book on a patterned rug. Overlay text reads "baby dedication why we did it?", introducing the topic of dedicating a baby to the Lord.
A baby in a cream outfit sits in a white armchair. The text states "babies are the biggest blessings" and emphasizes the Christian duty of parents to teach their child the love and kindness of Jesus.
A blurred image captures a woman holding a baby, with a man holding her hand, likely during a dedication. Text explains "we prayed for him," highlighting the baby as a "rainbow baby" after a loss, and God's promise kept.
BABY DEDICATION TO THE LORD🕊️
first things first, this was very special to me, because my baby is a rainbow baby. I experienced a miscarriage and prayed so hard for this precious boy. He is the biggest blessing to my husband and myself, and he is reminder of God‘s goodness every day. I feel so blessed to be a mama, and that’s s

First what is a dedication? Dedication is a Christian ceremony where parents commit to raising their child in the faith, asking for God’s guidance and the support of their church community. It does not involve baptism or water, and the child may choose to be baptized later in life. #dedication
