Within His Frost (Anchor Book 2) (English Edition)

Callie:

I used to believe that the universe held all the wonder, that it had the power to bring all we wished, hoped, and dreamt to life. I used to believe my secrets were safe to share into the darkness of the universe and galaxies beyond what could be seen as I laid under the stars on this island.

But now? Now I know it was all just the naivety of childhood innocence. Momma might have wanted me to hold onto hope and the secrets of the universe, as well as my innocence, but in the process she never once prepared me for the man who in the dark runs this island, this town.

Now I can only hope in my flee to get as far away from him as possible, I can become invisible. I can keep my two favorite people safe. I can keep us whole, while my heart shatters in the process of protecting them. What I never expected however was what I would find in small ville Tennessee. Small-town romances are fantasies. They are for believers and dreamers, neither of which I am anymore because I am not stupid and I am not naive. I'm only here to keep my people safe and to get as far away from him as possible. I don't have time for those eyes that pierce my soul and I swear can read all of my thoughts.

Christian:

After what my ex did to me. Took from me. Honestly, I swore off the entire female population and beyond, making celibacy my new partner. Well, that and a few creative outlets if you will, one of which I'm sure is on its way to carpel tunnel here soon. But if I have learned anything though in my time since her and in my time with Dr. Wes Montgomery, that as cliche as it is to say, it holds true.

Never. Say. Never.

Because when the new girl in town's eyes catches mine, I know at that moment I'll do anything to protect her. Even if it means trying to put my faith back into the same gender that took everything from me, even my purpose. Callie-Ann is on the run and my only hope is when the walls she has built fall off the edge, she realizes she isn't in this alone. I'll be there to catch her every. single. time.




****While this story is a small town romance which will give you all the warmth you are hoping for it is also a story that contains heavy and dark-themed topics such as sexual abuse, kidnapping, assault, being held captive, violence, and much more. Please check your content/trigger warnings before continuing. Your mental well-being matters more than a book sale to me.*****
