SYNOPSIS
The war was waged. The king got his queen, but where did that leave me?
When I thought there was no hope, that suffering this lonely life was my destiny, I saw her. The bubblegum pink skirt caught my attention, but her doe eyes captured my heart. Could she be my SAVIOR?
With her, I don’t have to hide the demons that haunt me, or to relive my darkest days alone.
With me, she’s free to be whoever she wants to be. She’s amazing.
Together, we’re two people clinging to a ray of sunshine that only the other can see.
I let my guard down. I got too comfortable. I thought the war had been won when, in reality, it had just begun. When old debts accrue, past demons return to collect their dues.
To find the SOLACE these young lovers crave, will they have to sacrifice the one thing they hold most SACRED?
From New York Times bestselling author, S.L. SCOTT, comes a new, emotionally driven, romantic suspense standalone.

After reading the
Kingwood Duet & Solace, I was happily surprised for more from
S.L. Scott with Cruise’s story & she has delivered! Although this book can be read as
a standalone, I highly recommend that you read her The Kingwood Duet
before Sacred – Cruise
is a supporting character in the duet, & reading it will provide important
background & ease you into Sacred. See my 5 star reviews for
The Kingwood Duet ~ Savage & Savior!
Sacred, told
in first person, from dual perspectives is a steady read that will have you
hooked from the start. Cruise is a rich kid with a dark past he can't
seem to escape & Clara is the innocent girl next door type with secrets of
her own. Can Cruise be her safe haven, can she pull him from the darkness
into her light? “…his dark melds
into mine and together we become a lighter shade of gray.”
In this dark romantic suspense, emotions
run deep with a story line that includes the very real effects of adoption,
domestic & sexual abuse & the fight for survival. “I’ve experienced stuff I don’t want to talk about. Things that
threaten to bury me daily.” These
characters are brought together by fate to meet their secrets & demons head
on. “Lost. I’m lost to the demons that
haunt me.” With flashbacks & twists from the start, in the end all is
revealed. So sexy “…together we like a little dirty with the love we make.” &
romantic. With strong bonds of friends who are “…more my family than my actual family ever
has been.” & families that are broken.
A story of love, survival, & overcoming life-altering tragedies that
threaten to consume, only to make you stronger if you let them. “His
rough to my soft. I wonder if that’s how we’ll always be. If two shattered
souls are better apart or together.
For me, this was the best of the
Kingwood Duet spin-off’s as of yet. The
instant mutual connection between these characters is palpable. I love the easy soul baring banter. Clara’s quirkiness & Cruise’s honest, protective
nature. Adored from start to finish, loved the ending & how everything comes full circle. Another epic love story from
S.L. & I look forward to her next.
“We
survive. We live. We love.” “Irrevocably.”
“Life
is sacred.”
