Recommendation
This story was very powerful. I wouldn’t consider it a super dark read, but it touches on darker subject matter like domestic abuse and the aftermath of it. Declan and Gabby each have their own struggles and their journey to overcome together is a battle until the very end. I loved Declan’s Alpha ways and how protective he is of Gabby. The connection between them is strong and Carina Adams writing left me breathless a few times. Twisted and deep but overall, a truly beautiful story.

Publisher synopsis
Callaghan. A name synonymous with power and fear. A family of untouchable criminals.
As a teenager, Gabriella Forte had no intention of getting to know the town's most dangerous brothers. Once Dustin set his sights on her, she was trapped. There was only one way out of her personal hell.
Declan was determined to break away from his family's shadow. Until he fell in love with the one woman he couldn't have. She changed everything.
Life isn't always kind. Love can hurt. Sometimes you need to sacrifice yourself to protect the people you care about.
It's been twelve years since Declan did the unthinkable and went to prison. He promised to stay away from Gabby and his nephew. That's one vow he can't keep.
Things aren't always what they seem. Facts are only as credible as the person stating them. The truth doesn't always set you free.
