Through the Abyss

My Debut novel!

Lexi spent an enormous amount of time clinging to a love that was fundamentally broken, lying to herself and the people around her, pretending she wasn’t living in fear as a shadow of her former self. Trapped in a cycle of fear and denial, she endured Jackson’s abuse and psychological games, convinced if she loves him enough, she can heal his scars. If she loves him enough, he will stop. If she could be just a little bit better, they can be happy.

Red flag after red flag she makes excuses, covers the bruises, and clings to her hopes. But when Jackson crosses a terrifying line, death lurks close by. On the brink of losing everything, someone steps in, someone saves her. Andrew didn’t just save her life that night, he awakened her to the reality she had been avoiding, shattering her illusion and uncovering the truth.

Now, it’s Lexi who has the secrets. As she grapples with conflicting emotions and hidden truths, betrayal and secrecy become all too easy. She must navigate the dangerous territory of deception to keep her life. What will Jackson do if he discovers her secrets? How can she escape his clutches while protecting everyone around her. And how far will Jackson go to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his?

In this gripping tale of love, betrayal, and redemption, Lexi must confront the darkest corners of her reality and make choices that will only determine her future if she can make it out alive.
