Nicole Blanchard

My life has been a series of bad decisions. Marrying an abusive man was the first... but falling for a dangerous inmate where I’m a nurse may be the worst. He’s brutal, heartless, and twisted. But he’s also the only one to notice the bruises on my skin. His forbidden touch becomes my addiction. His drugging kisses my obsession. After I learn the truth about why he’s in prison, I try to escape, but but he finds me. Now I'm his prisoner.

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Nicole Blanchard comes a captivating new standalone tale of redemption and romance. Waking up in the hospital after an accident is bad enough...but realizing I can’t remember a thing—not even the sexy paramedic who claims to be my husband—is infinitely worse. They tell me my name is Tana Dorran, but I don’t recognize it, or the face in the mirror. Alec Dorran has made a living from solving problems, but the one problem he can’t solve is how to restore the woman he used to love. He says he’ll wait as long as it takes, and he seems like a good man. I’d be a terrible person if I let him waste his time reviving a version of his wife that may never resurface. For some, love may be eternal...but can the same be said for ours? This is a special edition cover of Eternal by Nicole Blanchard.

I thought I put my past behind me. I lost everything when I testified against my fiancé for the murders of three women. After the jury delivered a life sentence, I ran.

Then, a woman is murdered and I’m the only one who believes her death features the same signature as those I’m trying so hard to forget.

I have no choice once we learn I’m the next target, but I’m not interested in getting close to another man, especially not a sexy former Marine who has secrets of his own.
