He had a right to remain suffocated by his pain.
She had a right to remain silent about hers.
For better or for worse.
Those were the vows that I had taken with my wife six years ago. We had lived through the better and were barely getting through the worse. I tried to face our loss together, while she chose to have an affair instead.
Time apart was what we both needed.
What I didn’t expect in that time was her.
The beauty she possessed on the outside was a far cry from the scars she was harboring on the inside. She wasn’t looking for love and neither was I. She just needed someone to help her deal with the pain she had been carrying around for the past two years, and I was happy to oblige.
I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, but suddenly I was seeing a future that I never dreamed of right in front of my eyes….only to find that the past had other things in mind for us.
***
I always believed that we only got one true love in life, and mine was gone and never coming back.
Through the tear-filled nights and never ending days, I was slowly and tortuously coming to terms with the pain that was my reality.
And then he entered my life.
Tall, handsome, genuine and caring, he was a friend when I needed one most. Together, we were a temporary fix to our own permanent pain. Just two people helping each other to get through a very dark period in life.
But when the light begins to shine ever so slightly with each passing day, and his face is all I can see at the end of that tunnel…..do I run back into the darkness or move into the light with him?

My Thoughts - Story
I shouldn’t be surprised when I start to read a book by Ms. Rinyu that it will end up being a 5 Star and a book that holds me captive.
She has gifted me with stories of suspense, heartbreak, tough issues, humor and light romance and each time she nails the genre right on the head. I love each and every one of her books and find myself completely emerging with the characters and the journey they take.
This is definitely one of those times that her characters really shined. Quinn and Lacey are so complex and developed perfectly with many twists to their personalities that Ms. Rinyu had me anxious to see what would happen next.
Re-Cap
Both of our characters are tortured souls who want to be alone but how their past situations entwine with each other, they find the comfort that they need so much.
Follow along as these two fight the obstacles in their lives while forming a relationship with each other to help them heal from their traumatic pasts.
Even though each is healing, there is still some unfinished business with Lacey and someone from her past.

Would Read More from Author? Always
Recommend To – Readers who love to read about characters who come from a traumatic past and love the story of their healing – and throw in some suspenseful moments.
Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I am the author of The Exception To The Rule, An Unplanned Lesson, An Unplanned Life, Drowning In Love, A Cry for Hope, A Will To Change, Blind Side of Love, When The Chips Are Down and Easy Silence.
My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I'm a mom of twin teenage boys, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of relaxation.
