It wasn’t supposed to be like this. When I left my small town for the big city, I had my eyes set on a bright future. Somehow, darkness settled into my life. When I finally find my freedom, I go back to my roots and vow to rebuild my life. I expect resistance, but I am met with the same love I once ran from. Appalachia is my home, but Beau is my peace. **This is a second-chance romance with heavier triggers. Reader's discretion is advised.**
