Drowning Instinct

Drowning Instinct by Ilsa J. Bick. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781780870434.

There are stories where the girl gets her prince, and they live happily ever after. (This is not one of those stories.) Jenna Lords first sixteen years were not exactly a fairy tale. Her father is a controlling psycho and her mother is a drunk. She used to count on her older brother--until he shipped off to Iraq. And then, of course, there was the time she almost died in a fire. There are stories where the monster gets the girl, and everyone cries for his innocent victim. (This is not one of those stories either.) Mitch Anderson is many things: A dedicated teacher and coach. A caring husband. A man with a certain...magnetism. And there are stories where its hard to be sure whos a prince and whos a monster, who is a victim and who should live happily ever after. (These are the most interesting stories of all.) Drowning Instinct is a novel of pain, deception, desperation, and love against the odds--and the rules.
