It all began with a choice... Anna Pierce had, by all accounts, a blessed life. She grew up in a home full of laughter, love, and support. Where the biggest problem she faced (other than how to deal with her family's crazy antics) was deciding her plans for college. Little did she know the ugly path her choice would drag her down. A choice that left her free-falling... Fast forward five years. Her life still held that same laughter, love and support, but it was no longer full. A shadow hung overhead, waiting. Always threatening. Until he caught her... Jake Taylor stormed into her life and turned her world upside down. He made her feel things she'd hidden away from; made her face life again. But, most importantly, he helped her find the light. And gave her happily ever after... \This book contains adult content (lots of swearing, some drinking, and some sexy times) and is intended for readers 18 and older\ \\This is book one in a series, but each book will be a STANDALONE with a new couple.
