Two simple words sent Seth’s world crashing down around him.
He’s gone.
The truth begins to unravel as Seth and Dawson discover just
how deep Richard's betrayal went. With the help of Detective Sterling, they
race to stop the monster that destroyed their pasts. Together they find that
family isn’t always blood, but rather a dysfunctional mesh of unexpected
friends.
With Ava gone, Seth struggles to get back the woman he
loves. Will he be able to keep his promise to stop James from destroying their
futures? Or will he lose his grip on reality, setting off a chain
reaction?
Sometimes, in order to move forward from the wake of a
disaster, you have to take two steps back.

“I’m not afraid of you, James. I never will be.”
“I don’t give a damn if you’re afraid or not. It’s not about
fear. It’s about obedience. It’s about me taking control of the situation or
providing consequences. You fall to my punishment if you don’t do what I ask.
Plain and simple.”
“Because that doesn’t sound narcissistic and completely
perverted. Is that why you obsess over Ava? Because you need to prove you’re
not a fucking fairy?” I spit back.
“You know what I’m capable of, Seth. Don’t waste anyone’s
time or safety trying to be the hero you’re not.”
“Neither are you. You’re the piece of shit that goes down in
the end. I will spend every waking moment figuring out how to take you down.
You think you’re getting anything from me? Think again. Stay away from
Jenny.”
“Or else what?” he asked, his laughter fueling my
anger.
“Or else I’ll fucking kill you myself. I will hunt you down
like the beast you are and rip your heart straight from your chest. I’m not
falling for your little games. You can’t touch me, and that thought shatters
that inflated ego of yours. I dare you to try something, James. I’m begging you
to.”
His silence revealed my small victory. I didn’t know what
had come over me, but he brought out a side of me I hadn’t seen in quite some
time.
“You’ll regret your tone with me soon.” He hung
up.
I forced my fist against the steering wheel, causing the
horn to startle me and a weary-looking Jenny as she walked through her door
into my view.
I gave her an “I’m sorry” look and got out of the car. I
walked up to her, grabbing her bag and taking it to her trunk.
“What was that all about?” she asked.
“I just got a phone call from James.”
“And?”
“And nothing. We’ll talk about it when we get back to my
house. Just follow me,” I said.
“Hold on. I left my keys on the
counter.”
I got back into my car as she ran back inside. A few seconds
later, her car exploded with a violent bang and my ears began to ring. Smoke filled
the sky, and orange and yellow light danced in the darkness.
“Seth!”
When Emily isn't nose deep in her latest and greatest
writing adventure or in over her head with her spitfire daughter; you'll find
her emerged in the latest book to catch her eye. She doesn't judge, she reads
it all and hungers for more. She has been declared a Pintrest queen by some,
and is one of the few people you'll ever meet to actually pull off those easy
looking recipes; the ones that the rest of us burn. She'd love to hear from you
so feel free to drop by and say hi.
