Half Agony, Half Hope - Wholly Free Edition
He survived ten years of abuse.
Now he must learn how to live again.
Rick Wentworth endured captivity no father should face-shielding his children while silently breaking under trauma that did not disappear when the doors finally opened.
Rescued at last and given refuge in his best friend Darcy's home, Rick is free... but freedom does not silence PTSD. It does not restore trust overnight. And it does not teach a wounded man how to hope.
Then there is Marianne Dashwood-the paramedic who helped rescue him.
Steady. Compassionate. Unafraid of his scars.
As friendship deepens into something neither expected, Marianne begins to show Rick that survival is not the same as living. But healing requires risk-and Rick is not sure he can survive losing everything twice.
