BOOK 1 IN THE MERIDIAN INSTITUTE SERIES

I’ve survived worse than most people can imagine. I even survived myself. They think they’re teaching me how to breathe in the dark instead of letting it bleed me out. For a while, I breathe. But darkness doesn’t disappear just because I’ve learned to turn on the lights. It waits. It studies. And when it comes for me, I remember I’ve already survived the devil, so I can handle his demons. I know how to play along. I know how to earn trust. I know that in the end, I’ll be the one walking away. I’ll be going home to the men who taught me that surrendering is a choice and survival is an art—The monsters might be able to break me, but they will never tame me.

THIS IS A DARK ROMANCE WITH HEAVY TRIGGERS. READER'S DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED.
