Fractured Things by Samantha Lovelock

Poe Halliday could have been my everything. The boy who allowed me to dream again.
Over as quickly as it began, one night ended it all—the hope growing in my heart poisoned by a dark secret spit from cruel and twisted lips.
The secret that stole her from me.
After spending my entire life living with my mother’s demons, I refuse to let them take anything else away from me. My roots are entwined with the shadows haunting that town and running from them isn’t an option anymore. I’m stronger than they think I am, and the only way I can escape this nightmare is to fight.
This time it will be on my terms.
I have to go back.

Stella Bradleigh shone like the brightest star. Able to keep my shadows at bay with nothing but her smile
I’ve been unknowingly living under the same roof as the devil incarnate—the architect of a horrific event kept secret for so long.
The secret that stole her from me.
When she left, my world turned cold again, and after basking in her warmth, I refuse to let it end this way. From the day she arrived, I knew my heart belonged with hers, and even though I tried to push her away, she became a part of me. The shadows in this town are no match for the ones I carry, and if she lets me, I’ll stand by her side and fight.
This time it will be on her terms.
She has to come back.
