Lucky Penny
by L A Cotton
I was his lucky Penny. He was my light in the dark, hope in despair. Our bond was one of survival, friendship... first love. But then we were ripped apart and Blake Weston became the memory I turned to when everything else in my life fell apart. Seven years later, a summer working at Camp Chance is supposed to be my fresh start. Beautiful scenery and the chance to better the lives of foster children - kids like me. But when my eyes land on him across the fire, time stands still and feelings come rushing back to the surface. I thought I'd moved on, tucked him away in my heart. One look into his soulful blue eyes and I know I'm wrong. Blake Weston can heal the broken parts of me. Restore my hope. Love me. It's our second chance. A sign we are supposed to be together. Isn't it? I was twelve when I survived the accident that killed my parents. Fourteen when I survived the devil. And sixteen, when I survived a heartbreak of the worst kind. But in my twenty-three years, Blake Weston might just be the first thing I won't survive. WARNING: This book contains references to abuse that some readers may find distressing.**
