Through the Fire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184240534)

Sophie Hayes has spent years surviving her marriage.

On the outside, her life in a quiet Texas town looks ordinary, stable. Maybe even enviable. But behind closed doors, love has turned into control, and home has become something she endures rather than lives in.

She's learned how to stay quiet. How to avoid the worst of Cole's temper. How to disappear inside her own life just enough to make it through another day.

Then Julian arrives.

Cole's old friend. A man who should feel like a stranger to her. But he doesn't.

Julian sees too much, asks too many questions, and makes it impossible for Sophie to keep pretending she's fine. The more he's around, the harder it becomes to ignore what her life is costing her... and what she still might be allowed to want.

But wanting anything at all comes with consequences.

And Sophie is running out of ways to survive the fire threatening to consume her.

This book contains mature and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: domestic abuse (emotional, and physical), sexual violence, coercive control, manipulation, fear-based relationships, emotional trauma, sexual content, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and themes of survival and recovery.

Reader discretion is advised.
