Description
Abigail "Abby" Lee Emerson once believed in love-the kind her parents had, the kind that made their house feel like home. But everything shatters when her father discovers a devastating truth: her younger sister Bella isn't his, and their mother, Nina, has been unfaithful. In the aftermath, their family unravels. Nina spirals into addiction and disappears into a life Abby barely recognizes, while her father's heartbreak turns into something darker-something Abby and Bella can't escape. Determined to protect her little sister at any cost, Abby takes on multiple jobs, sacrificing everything to keep Bella safe. But even her strength has limits. The day everything finally breaks, Abby crosses paths with Jace-an enigmatic stranger whom she doesn't know if she can trust. Yet somehow, he becomes her only way out. As fear turns into something far more complicated, Abby must decide if she can trust the one person who feels like both her greatest risk... and her only escape. Thank you for choosing my story!
