The Bargain We Made

Jess Deaton has left everything behind in North Carolina, hoping to start over in Charleston. For the past year, survival has been her only goal. Escaping an abusive relationship should have been her freedom, instead the trauma left her shattered in ways she fears can never be repaired. She longs to rediscover the fun-loving girl she used to be but the scars run deep. And then there’s Thad…Her best friend, the man who’s always been perfect in every way. The one she’s convinced she doesn’t deserve. How can she face her past, her present, and her future, when evil still lurks in the shadows?

Thad has only loved one woman. The angel stuck in hell. Now that Jess has returned, he can’t keep standing on the sidelines, watching her risk herself night after night… But how can he protect her when he hasn’t faced his own demons? Maybe keeping an extra close eye on her since last summer wasn’t enough. He should have told her the truth. Even Though Thad wants more than friendship, the main focus at the moment is keeping her safe from the Devil of her past.
