𝙕𝙄𝙂𝙂𝙔. Leaving home four years ago was the best thing I could have done. Selling myself on the streets for the past two years, the worst, but what else was I to do? All I truly wanted was someone I could love and someone to love me in return. Was it really too much to ask? Meeting him though, the most handsome man ever, I thought all my prayers had been answered…. .until they weren’t. That man was almost the death of me. 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘.

Selling myself on the streets for the past two years, the worst, but what else was I to do? All I truly wanted was someone I could love and someone to love me in return. Was it really too much to ask? Meeting him though, the most handsome man ever, I thought all my prayers had been answered…. .until they weren’t. That man was almost the death of me. 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘. An early call out changes my life forever. I can’t get him out of my head. I need to know his story, need to know what put him in the back of my ambulance, as close to death as he could be. The more I know, the more I want him in my life, but is he too damaged? Too scarred at such an early age to let me love him as he deserves. I’ve been burnt before but I won’t let that stop me this time. I need to make him see he can have it all, including me.

Beau. Beautiful Beau. That’s what they called me. My life was anything but that and I was struggling. Things were hard. Really hard. A sister who couldn’t say no, a boss I couldn’t say no to, no matter how hard I tried and a place I could be kicked out of any time. I was fighting a losing battle, and wondered at this point if it was all worth it. I had nothing to live for, no one to live for and at the age of twenty-three, I was ready to call it a day... moreBeau. Beautiful Beau. That’s what they called me.

Five years. That’s how long it had been since my life as I knew it had ended. Others that had suffered a similar fate, had fallen on their feet. They had the perfect life and the perfect partner, but I wasn’t bitter. No, not me. Who was I trying to kid? I was as bitter as hell. Because while their life was perfect, mine had fallen apart. Holding down a job was nigh on impossible. I’d been in and out of rehab so many times, I didn’t even have to tell them my name... moreFive years.

They had the perfect life and the perfect partner, but I wasn’t bitter. No, not me. Who was I trying to kid? I was as bitter as hell. Because while their life was perfect, mine had fallen apart. Holding down a job was nigh on impossible. I’d been in and out of rehab so many times, I didn’t even have to tell them my name. I used to be someone’s little, now I was just a nobody, a nobody that belonged nowhere. Or that’s how it felt. How hard could it be to forget my past? Damned hard, that was obvious. The real problem? I wasn’t sure I had it in me to care anymore about me or anyone else, but when Detective John Palmer turns up, offering to help, I wonder if he’s what I’ve been waiting for. Time is short. Hours, minutes and seconds are running through my fingers like sand in an hourglass. Can he stem the flow? Can he be the one to give me what I need, what I desperately crave? Only time will tell. But when my past catches up with me, I’ll need him more than I ever thought possible. Loving Liam is the third book in the Liverpool Boys series. It can be read as a standalone but it may be advantageous to read Saving Ziggy first. TW for drug use. less
