"I'm too broken for love."
After everything Beth has been through, all she wants is to feel normal.
To be normal.
But the weight of her past won't let her go easily.
"Wanting her is wrong."
All Jake wants is to be a hero.
To save as many as he can from the monsters of this world.
But when the monsters come for Beth Doherty...
he isn't thinking like a hero.
Ripping her out of her life was bad enough.
Wanting her is worse.
But resisting her might just be impossible.
EXCERPT
“What did you want to talk about?” The girl had her arms folded over her stomach, her back pressed to the wall by the door, and the sight made him move deeper into the room just so he wouldn’t crowd her. She was five-foot-four according to the files, but she looked smaller than that.
“Well, um…” Jake cleared his throat again, and she tilted her head a bit, those soft brown eyes meeting his. “I want to be honest with you… Thalia didn’t exactly send me, but I do know her. My team and I were the ones her boyfriend, husband, hired to get her away from Marcus Williams.”
Beth tensed when he used the name and he mentally smacked himself. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have just dropped that on you, I—”
“Is it Anthony?” she asked softly, staring at the floor.
“Is what Anthony?” Confused, Jake watched her carefully as she seemed to get smaller, her shoulders pulling in.
“Is he…” Her voice got even quieter, the last of her question barely a whisper. “…looking for me?”

Worth the wait ❣️
This was such a heart-wrenching journey
Nothing was "quickly" overcome
Miraculously no longer a trigger
It was baby steps
Beth fought just as hard, if not harder, to try and find HER new norm
Wasn't easy when those who had experienced some of the same hades as her seemed to be
Moving forward with their lives
Finding their new happy's
While she was still, quite literally, tethered to her past
Each day she questioned if it was worth it - hurting the people she loved
If she would ever find some semblance of happiness
Or was she just that broken
Enter Jake...
He saw through Beth's mask
He understood
He gave her the tools to take those baby steps
To ask the right questions
To accept her new norm
Without judgment
Without contempt
A big thank you to the author she did an amazing job with Beth's journey toward recovery
Oh, there is more to come -
Rest assured Jake and Beth will find their Happily Ever After
