Publisher Description
Using a dead girl's name and secretly dating a professor are just some of the things Ana Lopez is willing to do to graduate college and build some sort of future for herself. You name it, she'll do it, if it gets her closer to a better life and helps her escape her violent past.
After crawling out of an abusive relationship, Ana is focused on nothing other than moving out of her brother's house and into her own future. But Ana doesn't realise that as she tries to outrun her past, she's leaving her family behind and her identity behind. Running into Marlon, a friend from high school, was not in Ana's plans at all. Tall, dark and handsome, he had been her crush in high school, but nothing had ever come of it. Although knowing him from high school poses a risk to exposing her new identity, Ana can't seem to help herself. And the more she's around him, the more Ana realizes a flaw in her carefully laid plans: that she just might want more than a simple degree and a life of dull comfort with a man she doesn't love.
The problem is, she isn't quite sure how to handle breaking up with an increasingly possessive Daniel, her professor. Little does Ana know that everything she's worked for the past few years, everything she's convinced she deserves, is about to come crashing down as the professor's jealous wife comes back, a family crisis rears up and Ana loses someone she dearly loves.
Customer Reviews
Really different!
This is completely distinct from other work published by this author but was intense in a different way. Enjoyed some of the characters more than others. Several curse words were included but didn’t think they were needed.
Enjoyed the twists and turns of this unusual story. Recommended!
However, just be careful if abortion or domestic violence are triggers for the reader.
Received as an Advanced Reader Copy and this my honest review.
