ANYWHERE
Plus size Aeren Haverwood is pushing thirty, yet she doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life. She’s still figuring it all out. The only thing she’s certain of is that she loves the man who’s been her inconsistent constant the last five years of her life.
Since the day Rahmi Çevik met Aeren, he’s made it his mission to protect her from the truth that haunts him. Sometimes, though, the best of intentions aren’t enough to keep your loved ones safe; he knew that first hand long before he met Ari. When he discovers his past came looking for him through his present, he realizes the wall he’d put between he and Ari to safe guard her had been useless all along, and his secrets were the very thing keeping her in harms way. It was time he told Ari the truth: that he loves her, that he’s been living a double life, and that he’s a murderer.
Ari never expected to be driven from her home, she never expected to be shot at, and she never expected the man she’d welcomed into her home to have a dangerous side she’d never seen. And therein laid the problem. The Ram she knew was a world away from the man confessing his sins to her.
Will Ari be able to look past Ram’s transgressions? What do you do when your heart belongs to a man you never truly knew?

Chapter One
Aeren
The loud thud followed by the sound of wood splitting would haunt me forever.
I gasped, leaping up from the sofa. My heart took off, pounding against my suddenly tight chest. The moment I saw them, fear stiffened my limbs. My mind was racing, but nothing stood out; I was frozen, struggling to breathe, unable to think straight enough to solve the problem before me, namely the four burly men with guns aimed at various parts of me.
“Where is he?” The male closest to me demanded. His Eastern European accent was thick, much like the cords of his forearms. Bushy black hair covered the lower half of his face, obscuring his features a bit; his dark rose lips were mashed together. He emitted power.
I immediately knew who they were asking about, and I was unexpectedly grateful for all his secrecy over the years. “I…I…I don’t know. He…he doesn’t tell me.” I swallowed hard; shocked I hadn’t collapsed yet.
The others seemed to be of the same origin as the dominant one, yet they didn’t speak. They were the order followers , the obedient soldiers.
Proving my point, their leader issued a single word order in an unfamiliar language, and the other three took off deeper into my home.
My knees shook, forcing me to grasp the arm of the sofa. In the distance, I heard furniture, cupboards, drawers and objects crashing about. I had no doubt the men were ransacking my apartment. Even if I knew where Rahmi was, I would never betray him. He was my best friend, my inconsistently constant partner, and I loved him.
The men returned to the living room, issuing a single word reply to their expectant boss.
His eyes blackened the longer he focused on me. I swore my heart stopped beating as he stalked towards me.
Instinctively, shakily, I backed up until my rear hit the unforgiving wall. I pressed my body as close to it as possible, as if I could blend into it, as if it could somehow shield me. Ominously, thunder rumbled outside,
