Almost Ruined

By C.L. Strickland

Sloan

Dean Lancaster made my college life a nightmare. I ran home and told myself I was free.

Five years later, he finds me again.

He says he's changed-and sounds convincing. Says he followed me to fix what he broke. Says the future I wanted is still possible-if I trust him.

I don't.

Because Dean has always known too much about me. Where I live. Who I let close. The parts of my life I never shared.

When an anonymous Valentine letter shows up, I realize something far worse than him finding me again.

He never stopped watching, and now he's offering me everything I once wanted.

I'm not taking it at face value-and I never will again.

***Part of the multi-author series, Almost: A Dark Valentine -

This Valentine's season, don't expect flowers on the doorstep - just the past, wrapped and waiting.***
