Breaking Me

Everything in her heart belongs to the man in the black trench coat, but the collar around her neck tells a different story.

Living in Scappoose, Oregon isn't exactly what you'd call thrilling. It's all blue jeans and cornfields as far as the eye can see, and I'm suffocating here. I've got bigger dreams than this town can hold, I want to be one of those girls who actually makes it past the county line.

But just when I think I've got my escape plan figured out, fate decides to mess with me in the shape of a six-foot-four southern redhead named Colt. And God, this guy is everything I never knew I needed. This so-called bad boy falls into my life, thinking he needs to save me from everything. Little did we both know, he did.

The thing is, there are real monsters out there, predators that are waiting for the right moment of weakness to strike. Evils that even his broad shoulders might not be able to protect me from. I don't know if we can fight our way through all this darkness, or if he can really keep me safe like he says. Hell, I don't even know if we'll get that fairy tale ending everyone talks about. But here we are.
