ELIJAHLife outside the walls of my prison cell is far harder than the time I did inside.There, I had my misery to keep me company.Out here, I’m forced to face the reality of everything I’ve lost.Nothing can repair the gaping hole in my chest.Yet, a broken woman wrapped in chains threatens to unravel the tangle of excuses I use to keep everyone at arm’s length.But letting Evangeline into my world … arm’s length.
But letting Evangeline into my world means exposing her to the real threat.
Me.
And all the terrible things that come along with that.
EVANGELINE
Taken.
Enslaved.
To be sold to the highest bidder.
The monsters who stole me away from my life have no conscience.
I’m not so sure the man who rescues me is any different.
He’s an ex-con and a pirate— not to be trusted.
But the dark veil of anguish that shrouds him can’t hide the truth of who he is at his core.
Elijah isn’t the enemy.
He may be broken and tormented…
And exactly what I need.
Elijah and Evangeline.
Agony and regret.
Faith and acceptance.
This anchor may pull them both down…

This book has all the feels. I was angry and sad at Eva’s situation. I was devastated when we found out the rest of Elijah’s past. I was in tears for much of this book. This author can write books with so much drama and angst. I have been impatient to get the next part of their stories.
Eva felt she couldn’t go back to her home, and thought she would never feel safe. What happened to her made her feel stupid. It took a lot for them both to trust, but she knew that she wanted him.
Elijah running his hands down the pictures of his wife… When E breaks down to Eva about it, I was full on ugly crying. They both had things they needed help to carry.
I love these bad men. I love getting to know their stories. I love what a close knit family they have become. This author has with each book added more to their stories. Each time I think I won’t be so invested, and each book proves me wrong. This series has been amazing. You don’t want to miss this!
