Book description
WARNING: This book contains subject matter that may be sensitive for some readers, including dark and triggering content. 18+ only. Please read responsibly.
When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean--her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.
And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement.
To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.
After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.
But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains.
REVIEWS:
"This book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and turning pages like mad crazy! I have never read another story that holds a candle to Cora and Dean's. The author of this book literally blew my mind. I fell in love with these characters and the horrific circumstances that they went through, brought me to tears, more than once. I truly feel that this book is going to sail to number one and could very well end up being a movie. I have read several books by Jennifer Hartmann and have loved everyone of them, but this book is the one that sets her apart from all other authors." - Vanessa, Goodreads reviewer
"WOW. Jennifer Hartmann's emotional brand of writing leaves me breathless, every.stinking.time. This book is a roller coaster... you find yourself laughing at the banter and antics between the H and h, but then you're crying on the next page. I cried so many ugly tears during the reading of this book...prepare yourselves. One of the best I've read in a while." - E. R. Whyte, author of 'Reclaiming Heaven Series'
"Intense, twisted, and stunning. Beautiful messages of love and hope shine through the darkness in Hartmann's new novel. This story addresses some difficult issues, like PTSD and sexual violence, in a heartfelt and inspiring way. It was such an emotional rollercoaster for me: I laughed, I cried, and I sat on the edge of my seat, struggling to put the book down. The chemistry between Cora and Dean is hot and explosive and these characters really came to life for me. " - L. Starla, author of 'From Prying Eyes'
"This book was equally devastating, soul crushing, hard to read at times, HOT, and beautifully crafted. Jennifer Hartmann writes words like pure poetry and knows exactly how to invest you into every scene. These characters are so well developed and their CHEMISTRY is out of this world! I couldn't put this book down. This is a new best selling author right here, just watch!" - Autumn, Goodreads reviewer
"My heart was shattered a thousand times over when I read this. I cried ugly tears and reread parts to just numb and become unnumbed from my own inner disarray. Jennifer is so artful in her use of words that she can make you feel everything without going into explicit details. There were points that I found myself marveling at the complete lack of detail and the way I seemingly had ALL the detail in my mind as the words drifted through through my subconscious." - Charity, Goodreads reviewer
"Jennifer has a very rare gift. It doesn't matter how dark the subject matter is, she has a way of drawing you in and making you feel every emotion that the characters are feeling. I didn't feel like I was reading a book. I was so immersed in the story and the characters, it felt more like I was sitting with two people who were recounting their experience to me. It's absolutely amazing." - Stephanie, Goodreads reviewer
