Hadley:I'm out. Done. Packed and running. After years of abuse, my husband Andrew finally crossed the line and laid hands on my baby girl. I'm terrified, but if we don't go now, we may never. When an accident leaves us in a ditch and I find myself surrounded by people I do not know and have no choice but to trust I find that kindness seems to exist but it comes in the form of a man who I can only hope means what he says and that the road to freedom will not become a circle. Shawn:Ask my sister and she will tell you that I have a Protector streak a mile long, so when, after blowing up my life, I come upon a car in a ditch with a woman in obvious distress, there was little I could do not to get involved.
As a police officer and Army Vet, I know too well the evil that men can do, and I know that unless someone does something now, Hadley and her girls will never be safe. Which begs the questions: Can trust be built on well-intentioned omissions? Is it possible to care for a stranger at a glance? And how can one know the difference between real love and a trauma bond? Truly, Madly, Deeply is a Contemporary, Protector/Survivor/Damsel in Distress Romance.
IT IS NOT A YA STORY. Contains Adult Content. Violence, including DA and implied SA and deals heavily with DV Survivor Themes and experiences. Including but not limited to PTSD and trauma. Deviant Darling Romances are intended for the 18+ crowd. They often contain Coarse Language and Adult Situations, including LGBTQIA+ themes, which some readers may ick, but others may yum-yum, but are always safe, sane, and consensual, as the Deviant Darlings Demand. So read at your discretion, but you cannot say you have not been warned.
