I am the fragments of a soul, shattered and worn. Once sold, once scarred, I was lost in a world where darkness was my only friend. My wounds run deep, and the scars will never fade. Escape was only the beginning, and I knew it the moment I ran. When our eyes met, I knew I was safe, but I refused to believe it. Even then, Gavin is a force that I simply cannot resist. He sees through the cracks and into the heart that still beats beneath the pain. His touch is dominant and unwavering, always pushing me to face what I fear the most. Will our love break through the walls I built, or will I only ever be pretty in lace? This is a dark romance with HEAVY TRIGGERS. Reader's discretion is HIGHLY ADVISED!
