How to Save a Life by Emma Scott — New Release!!

Unique standalone romance. NEW TOP RECOMMENDATION:
— “She’s trapped. A harrowing past haunts her every time she looks in the mirror, and she can’t escape the violence of her everyday life. More and more, her thoughts turn to the boy she knew in high school. The boy they called a mental case. A loner. A freak… For a few short weeks, she had found perfect solace in his company, sneaking every night to meet him at the local pool. In the cool of the water and the warmth of hi arms around her, she’d tasted something close to happiness.

Cruel circumstances tore them apart, and four years later, the sweet memory of their time together is dissolving under the punishing reality of her life now. He seems like a fading dream…until he reappears at the moment she needs him most [and] they flee her small Louisiana town, running from police and criminals alike, and she begins to suspect there is something more to his sudden return than he admits.

Over twelve days across America’s heartland, deep secrets come to light, buried pasts are unearthed, and the line between dreams and reality is blurred as they fight to hold on to their soul-deep love, and discover that there is more than one way to save a life…”
