Note 6th June 2021 - Still the same book, just a new Kindle cover *This is book one of three in the two souls series. Book 2 Two healing souls, coming August 23rd 2021 and Book three will be released in 2022* I have been a keeper of many secrets since I was old enough to know what secrets were. No one knew the truth, knew the real me and what goes on behind closed doors. No one knows about the abuse I suffer at the hands of my father. No one knows about the cuts and scars I hide from the world. Why? Because I choose for it to be that way. To the outside world, I am your average teenager, but in reality, all I am is a broken girl with no one to love her, to see the real sadness in my eyes. Until him. Ryland, the new boy in town, the stranger that sees right through me from the moment we meet. We are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame, but the more I get to know him, the more I see I am not the only one fighting demons. He has his own. To start with, he was nothing but a pain in my ass, but day by day, we grow closer and become something that the other didn't realise we needed. A bond develops between us that becomes unbreakable. I don't think either of us realised that when two broken souls come together, it would be the thing that gets us both on the road to healing. He shows me love, something I haven't felt since my mum was still alive, something my father tried to make me believe that I didn't deserve. I soon learn that just because my father once broke me, it doesn't mean I need to stay that way. I laughed when someone once told me that love makes everything better, but I soon realise those words are valid. Life can change in an instant. It can change when you least expect it, and sometimes it is for the best. No matter what happens in the past, it doesn't need to define you. WARNINGS: This book mentions self-harm and rape, but neither of these things happens in this book. It is something that is said. There is also Physical abuse, which does happen in this book, but not often and not in too much detail.
