Breaking Conviction by Greer Rivers

Snake

The enemy is two steps ahead.
Every time we think we have answers,
We’re left with only more questions.
I’ve made mistakes,
Hunted the wrong villains,
And now innocents are paying the price.
Naomi’s found herself in the middle of it all.
She can’t know how broken I am,
The rage that I keep buried inside,
Or that my past has become her nightmare.
Naomi fears she’s a damsel trapped by her villain,
But she’s my queen.
And it’s time she breaks free.

Naomi
The villain has me trapped.
Every time I think I can escape,
The chains strengthen and my hope fades.
I’ve made mistakes,
Trusted the wrong man,
And now I’m paying the price.
Snake wants me to run away from it all.
He doesn’t know how caged I am,
The fears that keep me frozen in place.
Or that my dream has become my nightmare.
Snake worries he’s a monster ruined by his past,
But he’s my knight.
And it’s time I break free.

Needing to understand the pain they feel.

Primrose has never stopped thinking about the boy with the greenest eyes and the messiest black hair. Her knight in shining armor, the boy who saved her life when she was young.

She’d suffered two major losses in her life before she was eight years old. Living with a sister who hated her and made her life hell, the only solace she found was when she was sketching and painting the boy with the greenest eyes.

She knew they had a connection but didn’t understand it. She hoped she would one day see him again.

They were taken.
Off the street. From parking lots. Malls. Playgrounds.
Snatched from life and thrust into hell.
They took Orion Darby on a perfect summer day, while she could still taste her first kiss on her lips.
She joined the others with chains on their ankles and scars on their souls.
They turned into nothing more than statistics. Cold cases. Lost girls.
Years passed and the world forgot.

Until the day they escaped.

This is not about their captivity.
This is about their struggle to return to a life that’s passed them by.
This was the real world.
But for Orion, this was hell.
You see… freedom isn’t enough.
She needs blood.
