“She is my heart and the other half of my life, and now, that life no longer exists." ~Drake Evans, Surviving Love
For Drake
Evans, life was once happy. He was living the kind of existence that any man
would envy. By his side was the woman he loved and a daughter he cherished.
Life was truly perfect, until the day demons from the past came crashing into
their perfect world, destroying everything he had been so sure would last
forever.
Today, Drake’s
life is shrouded in misery. Every day he faces the unyielding pain of losing
the love of his life at the hands of a drug dealing murderer. On top of it all,
he has to live with the anguishing betrayal caused by the devastating role his
brother played in Presley’s death. Gone are the days of carefree happiness and
impending futures. They've all been replaced with the shallow emptiness
hollowing out his heart and the undeniable rage pumping through his veins.
Drake is only moving through the motions of life, raising his daughter and
earning a living, in the only way he can tolerate—alone.
Since the day
she was banished from her family, Zoe Ledoux lives her life as a free spirit.
For the past four years, Zoe’s been moving through life day by day, place by
place. She never stays in one area long enough to establish relationships. She
refuses to get close to anyone, protecting herself from the fear of once again
being left behind. Then a turn of fate sends her to Sulfur Heights where she
lands a job working as a bartender.
In a chance
meeting, an instant connection forms, bringing together the wounded souls of
Drake and Zoe. It is together that they begin to cope; to mend the brokenness
of their pasts and feel what it is like to truly live again. However, will
their newly formed friendship be enough to pull Drake and Zoe from their dark
pasts? Can Drake overcome the fear of losing someone he loves and eradicate his
anger just enough to let someone in? Will he learn that Surviving Love with Zoe
is what he ultimately needs in order to be happy?
