RECOMMENDED TO READ BOOK ONE FIRST: I was taken and I did everything in my power to escape and when I did I came back. I came back to Cade but when I did he wasn’t mine anymore. He fell for another woman, he was grieving. He was lost and lonely so he turned to another woman and I feel destroyed. I want to forgive him I do, he thought I was dead. I just can’t wrap my head around his betrayal. He reveals a secret that forces me to leave. Years later we meet again, only this time when he reappears in my life it’s because of a tragedy. This tragedy leads to a ripple of events that has put me in danger. I thought I was over him, I thought I could move on, and in a way I did. I forgave him and went on with my life.I have a great job now and I’m happy. Well, at least that’s what I tell myself. My mind is still suffering from years ago when I was kidnapped. I keep telling myself this is not who I am, this is not who I want to be. I need to start with forgiving myself. I need to start with giving myself another chance to be somebody. Not just the poor girl whose life was turned upside-down by human trafficking. Nope, I will persevere and everyone will see that Layla Crawford is not damaged. Layla Crawford is not going to fade into the dark. This book is the conclusion of The lies Layla was told. RECOMMENDED TO READ BOOK ONE FIRST. Trigger warnings: KIDNAPPING, VIOLENCE, and SEXUAL CONTENT. In this book beware of possible CHEATING, PTSD. This book is not a slow-burn romance. It's a very fast-paced romantic suspense. PLEASE do not read this book if you are sensitive to any of these subjects.

I used to have dreams of a man in the shadows, I thought it was a dream but it wasn’t. That was the first lie I was told. At the age of seventeen, I woke up Christmas morning, to gunshots instead of presents. I know my life already sounds morbid, and yes that’s how it starts. The one good thing, that came out of me moving in with my aunt is meeting, Cade Teller. I don’t even think I was breathing when I locked eyes with him for the first time. My entire world came to a halt. He was my cousin’s best friend and my new crush. Little did I know, my love life was the least of my worries. My aunt was up to something, and I would do just about anything to find out what it was. She was my mother’s sister, they hated each other and for a good reason. Is there more to their story? Whatever it is, I will not stop until I get the answers I deserve. My mom and dad were taken from me and I want to know why. Who is this man, that has been following me my entire life? Is there anyone I can trust, to help me find answers? All I know is that it's up to me to find out what my aunt is hiding. This secret is monumental but it's ok, because I have Cade, and he is the only person that makes me feel whole again. I just hope he stays…
