Tormented in Silence: Part One by Jessa James

I am starting over. New town, new people, new job, single, and let’s not forget—pregnant.
I thought my life before was picture-perfect. I had everything I wanted.
Until my parents cut me out of their life.
Until my husband cheated. And I ran.
It wasn’t until I ran that my eyes finally opened to the manipulation and abuse I endured and the corner I shrunk myself into.
Now I’m pregnant and alone in a new town, starting over from scratch and rebuilding my strength piece by piece.
I went from a mansion to a small apartment. From wealthy to struggling.
But the thing is, this new life, in just two short months, feels more like the real me than the first 29 years of my life did. I have an amazing best friend who pulls me out of my shell and helps me find my voice, and through sheer dumb luck, I met someone. A man who awakens me and challenges me in ways I’ve never experienced before. A beautiful, bearded man who’s both dangerous and possessive, with rippling muscles and dozens of tattoos. He’s also everything I never knew I wanted or needed.

But behind me a shadow is watching my every move…waiting to strike out and destroy all that I hold most dear.
I didn’t know that this new life came with a vicious price.
And because of me, it’s a price we may all have to pay.
