A new town. A new identity. Pregnant and alone.
And far away from
a past that can never find me.
River Wild.
Moody. Sullen.
Asshole.
And my new
neighbor.
I have no interest
in befriending River. And he definitely doesn’t want to be befriended by me.
Then, he helps me
rescue an abandoned dog. And, that day, I see something in his eyes that
reflects back in my own. Sadness. Pain. Loneliness.
I know all of
those things well.
An unwanted and
unexpected friendship that somehow works. Then, without warning, it turns into
something more.
River and I both
have our secrets, and that’s okay. Because I understand him. And he understands
me.
For the first time
in my life, I have something I never thought I would have—happiness.
But happiness
isn’t forever. Not for people like me.
Especially not
when my past is waiting just around the corner, ready to come and take it all
away.
