TAKEN AWAY
By L. Henderson
Tagline:
Everyone thought he was dead. Only she knew what it took to bring him back.
Book Description:
For months, Jacob was treated as a ghost-a kid written off by his school, swallowed by rumors, and trapped under the crushing weight of accusations that nearly destroyed him. The only steady line through the dark was Serenity Jackson, the one person who stood by him in a courtroom when everyone else looked away.
When the dust settles and Jacob walks out a free man, freedom doesn't feel like peace. Bound by a suffocating sense of debt, Jacob is desperate to build a perfect world for Serenity to prove his worth-even if it means orchestrating grand, overwhelming gestures to force a happy ending into existence. But Serenity doesn't want to be an obligation, a rescue mission, or the prize at the end of someone else's trauma. She is fighting to rebuild her own life, find her own direction, and breathe without carrying the weight of his past.
Set across rain-slicked city streets, quiet diners, and uneasy silences, Taken Away explores the sharp line between loyalty and obsession, gratitude and expectations. As both are forced to confront who they are when the emergency sirens finally stop, Jacob must learn the hardest lesson of all: rebuilding a life isn't about grand spectacles-it's about learning to exist in the ordinary, one day at a time.
