Description
Hailey
Under the pretense of love, he used me, searching for secrets I didn't know I had. Cuddles, kisses, and whispered sweet nothings lulled me into a false sense of security that shattered with a single flashback.
Running from the threat I now know he is, I fall straight into a nightmare... and the darkness reveals the truths.
I’m not the center of Nash’s world. I’m a piece in Carter’s game.
Carter
There’s no beauty in this chaos. There’s only pain.
Hailey Scarlett Vaughn vanished without a trace, leaving me teetering on the edge of sanity.
She was my mission and became my obsession. My sweet downfall.
And now she’s gone.
As the threats multiply and enemies close in to exploit the prize in Hailey’s mind, I carve a path of destruction, desperate to keep her safe.
But it’s not until I find her that I understand she’s no longer mine... I broke her with my lies.
