Lincoln was my addiction. He was the only man I'd ever been with. Loving him had been like a drug, complete with all the nasty side effects. When I had him, it felt like the greatest high. When I didn't, it was like my world fell apart. Over the years, I'd realized so much of my time had been a craving-praying for the next hit. Was there a support group for this-In Love Anonymous? If so, I suppose I was working through my steps. I admitted I had a problem, and I wasn't using anymore. Maybe I was delusional that there was a cure for this kind of sickness?I met the love of my life at fifteen. He left for the Army when I was sixteen. We dated long distance. Made love for the first time on leave...
One day you held my hand. One day you loved me. Then you were gone. At sixteen, I lost the only love I'd ever known. Thrown back into the foster system, pregnant and alone, I prayed that you'd come for me and save me from life's cruelties. Only the next time I saw you, it was too late. Doing what I needed to do to provide for my son, we were finally brought face to face. It should have been the best day of my life, but it was far from it. It was the worst. That day a monster took me and held me captive. I begged for my life. I prayed for my son. I dreamt of you, the memories keeping me alive. You finally came for me. You were my heart. My Salvation. But sometimes the heart is too damaged, too broken, to be saved. And sometimes monsters have a way of coming back to haunt me. *This is a dark story. It is intended for mature audiences. If you need a trigger warning then this book isn't for you. I have other books of mine that I'd recommend like Current or Tainted by Crazy, but not this one.
