Kurzbeschreibung: "I gave my darkest secrets to a man who doesnt exist." Embry: " . . . you dont understand." Mateo lowered himself to sit, still vibrating with the need to fix me, the way he always did. "Then tell me. Explain it like Im the simplest idiot youve ever met." I cant. Id never told anyone. Not the judge, the jury, or the legal aid barrister whod written me off before shed ever met me. But as I drowned in Mateos affection, in a love Id done nothing to deserve, the words came tumbling out. Bad words. Dark words. Darker than sin. Darker, even, than Mateos battered soul and the secrets I didnt know about yet. I thought those words would shatter me. Shatter us. But when the devil came for us, it wasnt mine. It was Mateos, and the man Id trusted with my fragile heart was a stranger more broken than his scars could ever show. Contains mature themes.
