Prologue
What
makes a person tick? Is it the way they are raised? Perhaps it is a genetic
predisposition. Our DNA coded from the moment of conception to write out the
entire way our life will play out. Of course some things will be left to
chance; fate better yet. But I can tell you from personal experience, some
people are just born bad.
I always did my best, despite having the genetic odds
stacked against me. Saying I didn't win the parental lottery would have been
one of the understatements of the century. Yet, I was always able to skate by
in life. Trying not to become a statistic. Little did I know other people would take
my choices away from me.
I guess most of my problems started when I got
married. I was such a naïve twenty year old. I thought the world was all
sunshine and roses. He was my world, my reason for living. That was until he
lost interest in me. A high risk pregnancy, bed rest, sex restrictions, and a
colicky baby will kill intimacy for anyone. Breastfeeding isn't sexy. Neither
are the stretch marks Liam left me with. I didn't care, and I still don't. But
he did, and that is why I caught him in bed with my eighteen year old
babysitter when my son was barely three.
I know, my life is starting to sound
like a soap opera. I wish these were the darkest days. Back then, I thought
they were. I thought going through a divorce with a four year old son was the
end of the world. Ha. I wish I would have known what my future would hold. What
damage could be done at the hands of a stranger I thought I knew.
Does anyone
truly ever know another person? My answer to that question would be no. Even the
most open and honest people have dark secrets. Shit they would never reveal to
anyone. You know you have those type of secrets, we all do. Hell, I do. I
typically would never tell anyone. Except since the world knows most of them
now, it is my turn to tell my own story.
The true story of Aurora Alexander.
The real dangers of picking up strange men on the internet under the guise of
dating, and new beginnings. It all began as a game. A way to spread my wings,
and learn the dating game after being out of it for a decade. It ended in a
violent attempt on my life. I am a fighter. I have lived to tell my story. No
one can silence me. Not even him.

sunny senior citizen packed Florida, where she wrangles her flock of kids and
writes smut.
Dawn can normally be found swearing like a sailor, making late
night drive-thru appearances, arguing with her kids (or being run over by their
power wheels), reading a steamy romance while hiding in her bathroom, writing
her little heart out on her laptop (or dragging her Macbook to the Genius bar
praying they can save her latest work in progress), shopping for My Little Pony
goodies, being the life of the party at a book signing, or sipping on a
smoothie. She loves to hear from her fans, readers, and authors alike. Feel
free to drop her a message.
Dawn rarely takes life seriously, so be sure to expect heavy
sarcasm from her. She is also the life of the party, so be sure to meet up with

months. Buy her a shot of whiskey, and she will love you for life.
