As fate would have it, cracks began to form in the perfect facade I had shielded for so long. Friendships soured. Love became tainted by betrayal.

Fate brought them together. Will tragedy break them apart? Every broken piece of me had been stripped away so that, like a phoenix, I would be able to rise from the ashes of my past. He'd been the one to show me the truth of who I was. Who I am. Without him, I would still be chained to another man and a life that was killing me slowly. Taking every last piece of my soul and twisting it into something so unrecognizable, it was a miracle I was able to find myself again. Garth was my sturdy rock against the violent waters that had threatened to rip me apart last year. His faith that I was strong enough to break through the facade I had been wearing for years was the catalyst that changed everything for me. I turned my back on the scared, insecure girl I once was and let the light shine on the confident, brazen woman I was becoming. My dreams were coming true and I had the most incredible man by my side to see me through it. But that's the thing about love. It blinds you. And you can't see the storm that's peeking over the horizon until it's too late. ***Dare to Need is not a stand-alone novel. It is the second book in a connected series.
