"From the moment I locked eyes with hers, we've had this undeniable connection that was and will always be wicked. A love that would literally kill me if it didn't survive, but lately, could kill me if it did." Drake Evans. For Drake and Presley, life has handed them more challenges than any one person should ever face in a lifetime. Together, they've survived Presley's captivity from her deranged uncle, but now they must learn how to live with the events that surrounded her time spent with him, while keeping the details of her rescue a secret. For Presley Quinn, living the last two years has been practically unbearable, constantly drowning in nightmares put there by a man responsible for the violent imagines continually playing in her mind. She keeps moving forward, but is barely clinging onto the edge when she's faced with another obstacle from her past that is so unavoidable, so tragic, it threatens to break her apart-herself. Drake will do anything to protect Presley from ever feeling pain again. His love is irrefutable. He walks side by side with her, vowing he will never let anyone harm her again. However, when an unexpected event turns Presley against everyone she's ever loved, Drake is faced with trying to save the only woman he's ever loved or severing the only lifeline she's ever had-himself. **Mature Content Warning** 17 years and older for language and sexual content
