Stacey
Lorenzo has finished treatment, but is still devastated by her past as she
enters college. With drugs and alcohol so readily available, so much freedom,
and barely any supervision, Stacey falls back into old habits. Soon it’s a daily
dose of partying, self-medicating, and having sex with lots of different guys.
As her relationship with Eli destructs, she falls for Jesse, who just so
happens to be a drug dealer. Every time she starts to fall back into the
memories of her past, Jesse makes it easy to snort away the pain.
But she
snorts too much one night; it forces her to question the man she loves and
acknowledge her mental and emotional instability. In the second
installment of The Barren Series, Stacey must overcome her addiction and
make peace with her past if she is ever to be truly happy again.

EXCERPT
“Stacey!”
Jesse moaned into my ear as I ripped through my second orgasm. My whole body
shook through it; my mouth opened wide. I was shocked by how this felt, I had
never been this consumed in missionary position.
But then something seemed to change. I was so
high that I just couldn’t really focus. My eyes blurred and as he thrust inside
me harder. With every hard thrust, I became just a little more scared. I
started to shake and my legs instinctively closed. My breathing became shallow
and quick just as Jesse started to slow down.
“Stacey? Is it too hard?”
I exhaled.
This is Jesse. This is not Mike raping
you. You want this. You want him inside you.
“A little. Can we slow down?” I didn’t want to tell
him that hard sex reminded me of my rape.
“Of course I can,” he whispered.
His strong hands came down to my legs, which he
slowly stroked with his fingers. With that soft touch, my legs opened up bit by
bit, welcoming him inside. He rocked inside me more gently than I could have
asked for. And with every tender thrust that wasn’t accompanied by anything
hard, fast, or violent, I reminded myself where I was. I was in the arms of a
protector, not a monster.
