“Death is different for everyone. Like a thief in the night she takes what she wants with no regard for how much it means to you.” They always say to expect the unexpected. Little did I know the unexpected also meant the unthinkable. No longer a wife or a mother, what was once a full and meaningful life was now obliterated; leaving me with nothing but emptiness in its place. I was hollow; the shell of the a woman who had no plans to change. Until him. Armed in warmth and healing, Lior was determined to bring me back to life. To be my sun after the storm. Gentle, yet fierce, he came knocking on darkness’ door, challenging me. Wanting me. Loving me. He was the possibility of more, a vision of brighter days. He was a future I didn't think I wanted. A risk–one I wasn't yet sure I was ready to take.

Hard. Painful. Tragic. This is what my life has become - purgatory. Floating in the middle of what could’ve been and what’s never going to happen. My past dictates my future. Every step forward, guarantees ten steps back. Regret entwined with an addiction to bad decisions, living in the moment, and neglecting the consequences has become a way of life. Ignoring all the warning signs, I didn't see him coming. He was supposed to be a distraction, a bit of fun amidst all my chaos. But Elliot Ramzy turned out to be all that, and so much more. \Deviate is a spin off novel and can be read as a complete standalone. The characters in this book are originally featured in Devastate\
