This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B01GKDJGUK To say I know where this story begins is to say I remember what lifetime started it all…and why. What I do know is this lifetime is hard and cruel…maybe like the rest. That is until I meet him–the light that shines and guides me. To where, I don’t know, but my soul chooses to follow regardless. I believe my soul has done this before. I believe I will follow him…forever. "The toll on my spirit had slowly broken me down—day by day, night by night, drink by drink, hit by hit—to the limp, fragile, lost girl that Dereck Hamilton . . . carried away." A destructive home life silently destroys Serenity, a 16-year-old girl, until her broken spirit is given a gift in the form of an old journal that sends her a visitor in the night. The cloaked woman teaches Serenity that the lingering feeling of missing a part of her soul may not be a figment of her imagination, and with these words, Serenity’s journey, of this lifetime, begins. "Away from the sun I close my eyes and release myself into the unknown I hope she is there I hope she is there…"

The darkness won’t interfere with our love… Dereck has lost me in every lifetime I can remember. But not this time. I’m determined that he’ll have me in the future, the past, and most importantly, the present. If only the darkness will stop getting in the way. I’m just now starting to learn what I can do. Will I have the chance to find out the deeper meaning of who - and what - I am? How are Destiny and I really connected? The more we shine, the more we are seen. And the more we are seen, the more others notice… and try to interfere with fate. But we won’t be lost to the darkness. We will fight for what we know is real: our love - and our future.

Love may not conquer all... Three Days. Father will be released from prison in three days. And his threats against me are about to come to fruition. The danger is as real as Dereck’s and my love. Dereck is ready to fight for my life. I think he senses it’s coming to that. I’m his - in this life and any other life that exists - and I know he’ll do anything for me. His bright white light is blinding. But with my life in danger, Dereck's kindness may not be enough to protect me this time. The clock is ticking… and my life is not the only one at risk.
