I met a man who gave me hope for the future. It was supposed to be the start of something amazing. Everything about him was perfect, but I felt like I didn’t deserve it. Not after what I let slip through the cracks. He drew me in close, but my anxiety had me running scared. Literally. I never expected to get a second chance at love and a new job all in one day. We were falling head over heels in love, despite the horrors that kept trying to knock me down. My entire life has been hit after hit but now it is threatening to take away not only my happiness, but my life too. Between the evil lurking in the shadows and my past returning to haunt me, I can’t seem to catch a break. They say I’m nothing like her but maybe the apple truly doesn’t fall far from the tree. Will I be able to withstand the pressure or will I be crushed by the weight of it all? This is a second-chance dark romance with a guaranteed HEA. Please be advised of the triggers and take them seriously. Your mental health matters!
