This Dark book is not for the faint of heart. Please read the description! My story is not one of fairytales or happily ever afters. I don’t even know what that means anymore. I don’t even believe it can exist. Not really. If you had told me years ago that I would be married to a violent man, I'd never have believed it. I've learned to hide the pain that I know so well, pain that aches to my very bones. I've become an expert at putting on a smile and hiding the tears, making myself presentable as I camouflage the deep scars that echo within my heart and into my soul. I'm far too familiar with pain and what it feels like to be broken and I'm really not quite sure what to do about that anymore. This is my life. Does not have a HEA but does have a HFN. There are things that may trigger some readers, so please don't read if you aren't comfortable with: depictions of harsh and violent punishments and strong sexual material that most often includes some form of violence. It is raw and it is real.
