True North — Nicole French

They said I was a bad idea. Poor. Violent. Criminal. They said I'd amount to nothing, and I believed them too. Until I met her. Layla Barros saved me from my worst, but to do that, she lost the best herself. Now it's my turn to bring her back to life. If only I can figure out how to do it.I'll do anything to protect the chance we finally have together. I'll follow her to the other side of the word: Brazil. Cuba. You name it. But how can I be her true north when I'm still finding my direction too?Because sometimes your worst demons are those closest to you. And sometimes getting rid of them isn't a choice at all.
