Meet Hope and Gabrial in
Skye Turner’s newest dark romance!
My name is Hope Layne.
I've known Gabrial DeLucca my entire life.
He means so much to me, but he shouldn’t. He can’t.
I can't let him in.
He is darkness personified.
Everything I believe in and stand for is everything
he hates.
Nothing matters to him. He loves nothing and no
one... Except me.
I hate who he is and what he does, but I can't hate
him.
He is my curse.
He says I’m his salvation.
Am I strong enough to follow my heart when my head
screams at me to do the opposite?
What price am I willing to pay to save Gabrial
DeLucca from everyone, including himself?
***His Only Salvation is a dark romance with a love
triangle.
One woman is involved with two men and some dark and
delicate topics are covered.
Graphic language and explicit sex scenes are
involved in the book.
EXCERPT
The sound of the gun going off reverberates throughout the
metal of the warehouse. It ricochets like a rock bouncing down a tin roof, only
it’s louder… So much louder.
That didn’t just happen. This is a nightmare.
It’s not real. It can’t be real.
Only as my gaze strays across the room and I
take in the scene, the walls start to close in. I can’t breathe. All I can
focus on is him… lying on the ground.
A dark red puddle steadily increases in size and I hear a mournful wail. It
pierces my heart.
The voice calling my name, in absolute terror,
finally catches my attention and suddenly the sound stops and I realize that
the scream was coming from me.
“Hope… Hope…
look at me… Stay with me. Goddammit. Stay
with me. You have to get out of here. You can’t be here right now, Hope.
They’re already on the way and you can’t be here when the police show up.”
The screams don’t stop. I can’t. The horror is
too much. If anything, I scream even louder. I hear the voice imploring me to
look away from the scene on the dirty floor of the warehouse, but I can’t. I
can’t look away from him. He’s on the
ground. My vision starts to waver and I blink to try to make the scene
disappear.
It will be ok. This isn’t real. None of this is
real. It’s just a night terror. Like I had as a child. If I take my time and
breathe with my eyes closed, when I open them, I’ll see everything is ok. I’ll
be in my pink childish bedroom and everything will be fine.
Something sounds like bubbles under water.
Opening my eyes, I look past the man in front of me, desperately trying to get
me to move, to leave, and see him
lying on the ground as the puddle continues to spread and darkens. That’s
black… it can’t be blood. Blood is red and that is almost black. Blood isn’t
that dark. It’s not real.
Only, he gurgles as blood trickles from his
mouth and he looks at me with a mixture and fear and acceptance.
Dear God, he’s choking on his own blood. This is real.
He gurgles once more and his eyes widen before
he reaches out for me… I can’t move. I can’t breathe. This is real. This is happening… Oh my God… this
is really happening… It’s not a
nightmare.
The darkness consumes me and I feel weightless
as my bones liquefy… I try to speak but nothing comes out as I succumb to the
darkness.
