Traces Of Me by Nikki Summers

When Charlotte Bellamy is put into Agent Jay Carter’s care, a co-dependency grows between them. Neither one of them understanding it, but unable to live without it.
Charlotte’s past trauma leads her into a life of solitude, unable to live freely or find love. Jay’s touch is the only one she craves, a forbidden reliance she eventually has to live without.

Living a life in hiding eventually wears thin. With Jay growing more distant, her loneliness reaches a depth she can no longer sustain. Arriving in New York, she lets go of all she knows about hiding. She draws the attention of Joshua Martin, a man she believes she can never have. Against everything she’s been taught to keep herself safe and protected, she let’s him into her dark world. She falls in love, an emotion she didn’t think she would ever be capable of since her life had been stolen from her years before.

She let’s her hair down.
She becomes vulnerable.
She let’s her pursuer find her.
For love she sacrifices her life.
