The Rising (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923517530)

Like I said earlier, I'm right where I want to be-with you. I don't want to be anywhere you're not.

Chantelle has left behind everyone and everything she has ever known. Now she is trying not to let the weight of her past drag down her chance at rebirth.

She is a shadow of her former self with a new name, Elizabeth.

When Amber, Elizabeth's only friend and handler from the Australian Defence Force, pulls her out of the darkness, it is not long before Dominic is drawn to her light. He wants the chance to stand beside her, to protect her, to love her.

Dominic can't explain his instant attraction to Elizabeth, and he can't bring himself to walk away. While he knows her past is fraught with pain and suffering, no one knows the whole truth.

Finding strength in new friendships and love, she begins to rise above her past, but is it enough to survive the man that wants his possession back?
