“From the moment I locked eyes with hers, we’ve had this undeniable connection that was and will always be wicked. A love that would literally kill me if it didn’t survive, but lately, could kill me if it did.” ~Drake Evans.
For Drake and Presley, life has handed them more challenges than any one person should ever face in a lifetime. Together, they’ve survived Presley’s captivity from her deranged uncle, but now they must learn how to live with the events that surrounded her time spent with him, while keeping the details of her rescue a secret.
For Presley Quinn, living the last two years has been practically unbearable, constantly drowning in nightmares put there by a man responsible for the violent images continually playing in her mind. She keeps moving forward, but is barely clinging onto the edge when she’s faced with another obstacle from her past that is so unavoidable, so tragic, it threatens to break her apart—herself.
Drake will do anything to protect Presley from ever feeling pain again. His love is irrefutable. He walks side by side with her, vowing he will never let anyone harm her again. However, when an unexpected event turns Presley against everyone she’s ever loved, Drake is faced with trying to save the only woman he’s ever loved or severing the only lifeline she’s ever had—himself.

Excerpt
My feet start to
move quickly as I travel down through old buildings toward the bar. In a few
short minutes, I make my way to the parking lot where I need to stop to catch
my breath. The heat is sucking all the air from my lungs along with my guilt
for what I’ve done. When I pull open the door I can hear Darcie screaming at
Drake at the same time that Reggie is restraining his arms, pinning them behind
his back. His eyes meet mine and they break all over again. I have to save him.
I can’t bring him down with all the ugliness growing inside of me.
I slowly walk
through the bar and keep my eyes solely on his. Darcie is turning her anger to
me, but I shut it down because only Drake matters in this moment. No one else.
I reach into my pocket and pull the small white pill from its depths. Placing
it in the palm of my hand, I show him exactly what it is and his bloodshot,
drunken eyes meet mine, slowly. Reggie releases his hold on Drake, allowing him
to lower his arms to his sides.
“What’s that?”he
asks with a slurred tongue as he shrugs his shoulders, loosening them from the
tension inflicted by Reggie.
“I didn’t do it.
I was waiting for something good to stop me, and then…there you were. You are
more important to me than my own life and I can’t hurt you by doing this,” I
whisper as I pick up the pill and place it in his sweaty hand.
His eyes focus
slowly on the pill. He turns it over with his fingers in his hand, the
confusion apparent as he studies the small white tablet. He can’t even look at
me and I don’t blame him. I’ve ruined any trust he’s had in me and I deserve
it. I’ve only been hiding from reality for a long time. Drake tips his hand to
the side, allowing the pill to drop to the floor. As it hits the ground, Drake
lifts his booted foot then slams it onto the tile. He twists his heel, grinding
the pill into a fine white powder.
He slowly lifts
his head and looks over to Reggie. “So now you know,” he says then he pushes
past me, brushing his arm against mine as he walks out on all of us. ~Presley
