Through
It All
By Muoh
Joanne
When
Cassandra Peters returns to Nigeria to mourn her father’s death, she is hurt, confused,
and in pain. She has but one intention—to be done with it all and
return to the comfort of her medical practice in the United States as quickly
as possible. That is, until she meets Lucas and then gets more than she
bargained for.
Lucas
is a man with a dark past. Young, enigmatic, and fiercely protective of his
adopted family, he seems to have no space for anyone else in his heart. Yet he
finds himself inexplicably drawn to Cassie, and she finds herself falling in
love with the man who infuriates yet thrills her.
But
just when it seems that these two are set to capture happiness, Lucas finds his
past catching up to him. A deep tragedy sets in, and Cassie finds her world
crumbling around her yet again. Against all odds, will Lucas get the redemption
he seeks? And will Cassie embrace the love she so deserves?
Excerpt
“Why
is it so hard for you to share your problems with someone else?” His
pain was evident in his eyes. “Why
can’t
you lean on me?”
He rubbed his eyes. “If you
can’t
trust me, I wonder where we’re
going.”
He jogged down the stairs and took the twins’ hands.
She couldn’t let this go on. She couldn’t hurt
him. She couldn’t
stand knowing she had hurt the one man she was head over heels in
love with. “Lucas!” She raced down the stairs.
Everything seemed to happen in a blur. She saw
the speeding car out of the corner of her eyes and watched in horror as Lucas
let go of Nadie’s
hand to twirl and face her.
She was rooted in shock as she watched Nadie get
hit by the speeding car as she crossed the road after Lucas let go of her hand.
Cassie
heard a scream and realized it was hers. She covered her mouth with her hands
as she looked at Nadie’s
awkwardly positioned and bloodied body. She watched the car speed off.
Lucas
ran to Nadie while people gathered. Someone picked up Natalie and turned her
face away from Nadie’s
body.
“Cassie!
What the hell are you doing standing over there?” Lucas yelled.
That was all she needed to get her adrenaline
pumping. She was back to being a medical doctor. She knew what she had to do.
Oh God please
keep my baby sister safe! She pushed her way through the throng.
She heard her aunt frantically asking someone
to call an ambulance.
