Deadly Persuasion

All my life I’d been running, and I was the worst kind of runner. The kind that pretended they were stronger than others, the kind that looked down on people just to make their own life more bearable. It wasn’t necessarily that I was a bad person, far from it. I knew I needed to change but couldn’t. Turns out, my pride was a deadly thing...

Eighteen year old Veronica Day has just escaped her own personal hell; Weston Academy for girls, one of New York’s most prestigious boarding schools.

Only, it didn’t come with the relief she’d hoped for.

A year later and she is still grappling with an unexpected and devastating tragedy…

Deciding to travel to Kill Devil Hills with her grandmother for their annual summer vacation, Veronica meets a man that turns her world upside down.

Too old for her and ruggedly handsome, she is wary of the mysterious Devlin Monroe.

His pursuit is more like obsession than a normal courtship.

Too “tall dark and handsome”…and too interested.
Too good to be true?

Can she find a way to move on with her life, or will the answers she so desperately needs destroy what little she has left?
