Finding You In The Dark

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

"I'm taking you with me." She froze with terror as the man loomed close to kidnap her. "Nooooo". She gave a guttural cry for help, that echoed through the deserted roads. But help never came as she was bundled into the dark sedan, the world fading away as the doors locked. ------ One stretched moment. One missed bus. Was all it cost Sandhya's dream vacation to end up in endless dunes of unforgiving desert. Lost, frightened, and completely alone, she had no choice but to trust the stranger who offered help. Aktar was quiet. Distant. Safe. Or so she believed. Behind his guarded eyes lies a past he cannot escape and a darkness he cannot outrun. She trusted him with an innocence the world had never shown him. She walked beside him without fear. And without realizing it, he saw something in her he had stopped believing in long ago - something worth not losing. But the past does not let go. And love, when born in darkness, demands a brutal price. On her way back, she gets abducted. And the only man who knows where she might be... is the one she trusted the most. Sometimes, finding someone means... becoming someone they may never forgive. Because loving her was never the danger. Losing her was. Finding You In The Dark is a battle between two hearts - one that trusted without fear, and one that loved in silence. And in a battle... only one can win.

About this book

Book #1 in The Runaway Series.

Sandhya is a free-spirited girl. Her perfectly planned vacation was ruined when she ends up stranded alone in the vast Arabian Deserts, not knowing how to get back. When a nomad offers to help, the adventure continues raw and memorable, surprisingly better than what she had planned. But... is that a help she wished to have taken?

Aktar is a pretended nomad, behind that veil he buried his own dark secrets - one that he wanted to run away from and forget forever. When it chases him dauntingly, he flees. And it has been a cat and mouse game ever since.

He decided to help the chirpy Indian girl just out of guilt, but through her he sees the other side of life and he instinctively reaches for it... yearns for it. When it slips right through his fingers would he be willing to let it go? Or tuck it tightly under him?

This is a slow-burn one-sided love story; traversing through trust, friendship... and lies... and betrayals....and miserably stumbling upon darkness.

Because, sometimes, finding someone means...becoming someone they may never forgive.

Because loving her was never the danger.

Losing her was.

Happy reading 🤗
