Asking for It

Jonah looks at me for a long moment, his gray eyes searching mine. Then he nods and walks away. Yet again, no good-bye.

This time I’m glad he didn’t say it. Because it’s not good-bye for us. When I told him about the dove flying free, I saw something in Jonah I’ve never seen before.

I saw hope.

And that’s how I know that somehow, someday, Jonah will find his way back to me.





Warning (will include spoilers): This book contains multiple explicit scenes that graphically simulate sexual assault, although every encounter between the hero and heroine is fully consensual. There is one flashback depicting a rape that took place long before the main narrative of the book, as well as discussion of past nonconsensual sexual encounters. The hero is not the perpetrator of any nonconsensual sexual acts. Potential readers should be aware of the intensity of these scenes, and those who find such depictions triggering or traumatic are advised not to read. Return to Reader Advisory
