Everybody's got a strong friend. The one who shows up with the wine, holds everyone together, saves the whole group.
Nobody ever asks who's saving her.
To the people who love her, Sally Sinclair has it handled. She's a trauma nurse in Seattle - sharp on her worst day, the sister the others call at 2 a.m. She's finally home in the arms of Jackson Smith, the man who lost his NBA future to a drunk driver and rebuilt his whole life from a wheelchair. The one man on earth who has never once made her flinch.
What none of them can see is the counting. The bottles sorted quiet so the glass won't clink. The mint dissolving on her tongue before he reaches for her. The mask she's worn since Miami - since Jim, since everything she learned to pour into a glass and call fine.
Sally is a high-functioning alcoholic, drowning where no one can see the water. And here's the truth she can't say out loud, lying against the chest of the man she loves: the same thing that took Jackson's legs is the thing she reaches for every night.
She can keep performing okay until it costs her everything - Jackson, her work, the last of herself. Or she can do the one thing terror won't let her do: stop pretending, and ask to be caught.
But her sisters were never going to rescue her. They're the net. The falling - and the climbing back - she has to do herself.
Someone Save Me is a raw, tender, unflinching love story about addiction and the long road home, about being loved through the worst version of yourself, and about the day you realize the person you've been waiting on to save you has been you the whole time.
Perfect for readers who love emotionally deep Black contemporary romance, found-family sisterhood, and slow-burn love that has to fight just to stay standing.
