My grandmother used to beat me while screaming that I was cursed.
I never truly believed it, but now? I definitely do. My life has been a series of gut punches. First, my sperm donor did the same before I was even born. Dear old Mom followed not long after my first breath. My grandmother, Hester, hated me and never let me forget it. Still, I was determined to make life better. As soon as I graduated from high school, I moved to Virginia. For a while, I thought things were finally looking up. I met Vector, a man who made me believe I was special. That was until he ghosted me. He completely disappeared from my life. Telling me without words that I wasn't even worth a goodbye. Just like my parents. After that, I began a downward spiral, fully accepting all the hateful things my grandmother used to scream. I fell into a marriage with a cold-hearted bastard. I did manage to escape and pick myself back up. I began a new life in North Carolina—just me and my son. Now, there is no dreaming of happily-ever-after. I know they don't exist—no matter how much a long-haired, sexy biker named Ford tries to make me believe in them. This book was written as a duet with M. Merin's Redemption. While each book is a complete standalone, in her book, Vector & Sloane's story is told in tandem, during the same timeline.
