About the book: 2024 / *Scarlett*I had everything I could dream of. A childhood with a beautiful home, grass-stained knees and new Mary Janes every September. An education I worked hard for and never having to worry about financially. A fiancé who would lay the world at my feet. And all it took was one person to destroy the illusion I had of my ideal life. At first, I tried to ignore my desire for more. A tickling feeling that made me look around in empty rooms. An invisible veil was lifted and then abruptly torn away, revealing what my life really looked like. Perhaps I used to be too afraid of what I might find in the people around me if I looked closely . But maybe, in fact, I was really afraid of what I might discover in myself. *Jordan *Scarlet Owens is mine. It always has been and always will be. Time has only increased my need for her. I've been in the shadows long enough, Eight years old to be exact. She doesn't belong in this suburban cage in which she goes back and forth between grocery stores and the dry cleaners from where she picks up her fiancé's clothes. The same fiancé who happens to be at the top of my blacklist. Even though I'm a selfish bastard, the choice will always be hers. I just want to give her the push she needs to regain her freedom. Even if she falls, I will always be there to catch her.
