Shattered Angel

However, the life that I had been given-the life I'm being asked to go back to-makes death seem like a welcome reprieve.

Before I turned eight, my mother sold me. The man who bought me trained me for the life he expected me to live. For more than ten years I was held captive, beaten, tortured-shattered. There was one person who cared about me, and that gave me the strength to hold on to the small part of me that still existed. I finally escaped, only to learn that the hold of my past was stronger than the pull of my future.

Now he's captured me again, and he's given me a choice-life with him, or death.

I have 24 hours to decide.

Author's Note:
Let's talk about content warnings for a moment.

It's a topic that has passionate readers on both sides of the spectrum: some need them and others hate them for fear of spoilers. And, of course, there are those who fall somewhere in between.

While I write fiction, I try to pack each of my books with a strong emotional punch. Because of this, I've always respected that the topics in my books may be triggering for some. In hopes of finding a solution that will meet the needs of the entire spectrum of readers, a list of content warnings for each of my books can be found on my website:
