Hadley saved my life . . . and I ruined hers
Hadley's my best friend. We share a house, our friends, a life. She knows all my secrets . . . except one. My desperate need for her is inked on my body, it's the best I can do. But Hadley needs to hear the words . . . Growing up as foster kids, Hadley made me feel whole-sane. And what did I do? I destroyed our chance to be together. I ran out on Hadley when I should have stayed, and something broke between us. Now I'll do anything to fix it. I'll never leave her again. I won't ever let her feel afraid again. But the more I try to protect her from my pain, the more I just make things worse. I'm terrified that if I tell her everything, she'll never forgive me. I'm even more terrified that it may be too late to make her mine. I have to try to give her what she needs . . . it's a debt I'm determined to repay.
Josh MacKay has known pain on a very intimate level ever since he was five years old. He was abandoned and horrifically abused in foster care and even now as an adult, he can never seem to escape from its grasp.
His only salvation is the girl who suffered just as he did and still stands by his side. She has seen him at his best when he’s moved a crowd to tears with his music and she’s seen him at his worst when he lashes out with his fists. But even she couldn’t have known what was really going on inside of Josh’s beautifully brilliant mind. Hadley Mitchell gave herself completely to Josh – body and soul. Both of their broken souls only make sense when they are together. Now being together seems to be the one thing that is tearing them apart. Will they ever be able to break free of the nightmares of their past and finally admit that their love for each other is stronger than any pain? “My life was like a web attached to Hadley on all sides. From the moment we landed in foster care together, we became inextricably linked. I couldn’t escape her. I wasn’t sure I wanted to, despite what she represented.
The Debt is a deliciously poisoned arrow aimed straight at the center of the heart! It deals with some serious issues like abuse and death but even still – it never loses sight of hope.
