Tell Me If You Want Me To:

by Teruka B

Thyri Jacob's life was shattered at a young age. She was orphaned and thrwn into the harsh, North Carolina foster care system, she learned quickly that survival meant sticking close to those who mattered. That person was Kamari Taylor, her fierce, loyal best friend. They were two halves of a whole, no matter how hard it was they navigated the system and the streets, always riding for each other, no matter the cost.
In a desperate search for love, Thyri fell into an abusive, toxic relationship that ultimately led to the most devastating loss of her children to the same system that claimed her youth. When a horrific, life-altering event finally freed her from the violence, Thyri found herself utterly broken once again yet relieved.
Life seemed over, until she met Gram Stone. A very handsome man that was dealing with his own trauma. Thryri wasn’t big on letting anyone into her heart, but Gram makes it his mission to crack the walls around Thyri's heart, showering her with a love she never knew existed.
Can Thyri escape the ghosts of her past and allow herself to love again? Or will the traumas she and Gram carry prove too heavy a burden for a second chance at happiness?
