It’s no surprise Riley
Connors is dealing with issues. He was kidnapped as a young boy, and his
parents abandoned him after his newsworthy return. He bounced from
foster home to facility and back. Now an adult, ghosts from his past
continue to haunt him. After a suicide attempt, he is locked away in
Hartfield so that people can make him tune in to emotions he has tried
to bury.
Hunter Morgan had the kind of love that spans ages. But the stress of college and adulthood became too much to handle, and the love of Hunter’s life turned to drugs. After he overdoses, Hunter finds himself soaring out of control on the same miserable path. His brother finds him and calls an ambulance, and the sister Hunter would rather not have calls it a suicide attempt, landing Hunter in Hartfield.
Finding love isn’t easy, but it can happen under the most dire circumstances. Together Hunter and Riley may be able to grow from their pain. But they will need to learn to live for themselves, letting love come second.

This is a heart wrenching story about Riley, a boy that was
kidnapped and found four years later. And Hunter an alcoholic, that has escaped
into pills and liquor instead of dealing with past hurts.
We start the story with a then ten year old Riley being
found and taken to a local hospital. Flash forward eleven years, to Hunter
being woken up in a hospital not remembering anything. Hunter is court ordered into a mental health
facility, were Riley has been for the last nineteen months. Hunter is placed in
Riley’s room and this is where they start to form a friendship that over the
weeks turns into something deeper. But how far can it go, when Hunter is
getting out and Riley is a ‘lifer’?
Once again Kade and Allison (I feel I can call them by their
first names at this point, since I spend so much time ‘with them’ well , there
printed word) Have made another amazing story. So unlike all the other stories
that are coming out right now, Riley such a broken soul and Hunter not knowing
he’s damaged. I did find the beginning a little choppy and hard to follow, but
that’s because you are in the mind of two broken people. So of course, broken
thoughts! And it could have used one more edit, but I have found this true with
most all DSP press books? This is not an author(s) fault esp. if they are
coming out of a pubs house. Maybe time
for the pubs to relook at the editors?
