One mistake cost me a lifetime of happiness—or so I thought.
As a kid, my life was perfect. I had everything I could ever want. Amazing parents, a loving little sister. But one afternoon that all changed, and in the blink of an eye, my heart shattered. With it, my soul fractured, and my happiness vanished.
And it was all my fault.
Haunted by the mistakes and ghosts of my past, I now keep to myself, choosing to wade in the anger and self-hatred that fester inside me alone. With no life preserver in sight, I’m close to drowning in the ocean of agony that surrounds me, my damaged soul becoming lost forever.
But then Carissa walks into my life.
In an instant, she turns my dark world upside down. With one smile, she quiets my raging demons and silences my pain. Before I ever learn her name, she becomes my lifeline. Determined to get things right, I’ve kept my distance. But I’m done with the space between us. The time for me to claim my salvation has come.
Carissa is mine.
