A Heartbreaking Military Romance
*Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence, PTSD*
At twenty-three, I’m left with a decision.
The outcome could be life or death.
Trent hit me once, and I cried.
Then he hit me again. And again.
After a while, I got used to it, as I slept on the floor beside his bed, night after night. Everyone told me to leave him, but I can't. He won't let me.
The moment I wanted to give up on myself and any form of hope, Kemper—a tall, mysterious Marine just home from Afghanistan walked into my bar. With one look in his eyes, I saw pain that mirrored my own.
At first, I thought maybe he would be my prince charming, riding in to save me, but all it took was one tragedy for me to remember…fairytales don’t exist in real life.
