He’s the razor between us
Keep slicing that vein
Blood isn’t enough
As your soul fades
So do, so do, so do I
Verse 3-sing
Staying doesn’t mean you’re strong
Your weakness lies in his every wrong
Power comes from kicking him out of your life
For every hit you took with his fist
Instead you could have had my kiss
Don’t let him come between us
Chorus-Screaming
Blast that past on repeat
He’s the razor between us
Keep slicing that vein
Blood isn’t enough
As your soul fades
So do, so do, so do I
Verse 4 - Shouts this
I can save you
Don’t let him come between us
I can heal you
Don’t let him kill us
I can love you
Give him up
You’ve got to give him up
You’ve got to give him up

Note to the readers
Drug addiction and domestic violence are subjects that hit close to home for me. I’ve had family and friends that have gone through these same issues. While my characters in this book tackled this subject matter, how they reached their HEA isn’t always accurate.
Many think that they would know if a person is hooked on drugs, that’s not always the case. Addicts can be very good at hiding their addiction. How Morgan overcame his addiction to drugs can be done but it is very rare. More than most struggle every day to control their cravings and a lot don’t succeed. If you know someone who has a drug problem it’s not that they don’t love you, it’s just that the craving is so great they can’t help themselves and they need you to help them. There are links post below that might help.
Although I only showed it in the prologue, which was very hard for me to write, Shay suffered tremendous abuse from her ex Gary. But battered women aren’t the only ones who suffer. Men suffer too. I’ve read and seen cases where women have beaten their boyfriends and husbands. Violence in a relationship is not healthy. We’ve all heard it and I can’t stress it enough. If they hit you they aren’t worth you. You are better than that.
Abuse comes in all forms and verbal demeaning is just as bad. If you are being abused or know someone who can’t escape a controlling abusive relationship there are many organizations that help battered wives and children get on their feet. These organizations are non-profit and many states offer them. Don’t let yourself or someone else suffer any longer. You are an amazing person and don’t deserve to be treated like that anymore. You do deserve your own HEA.
About Racquel
Always a fan of books, Raquel began reading at the age of six. Yes, she started early. It fueled her imagination and she began writing her own stories at the age of ten. Then her writing took a back seat when she discovered drama class in high school.
Becoming an actor was what she wanted to do with her life, but she changed her mind. "I felt like I needed to do something more meaningful and planned on becoming a nurse's assistant." She went to college for her CNA, but again, not the career choice for her.
When she turned twenty she met her husband, and shortly after, their daughter came. All the while she had these voices in her head, these characters begging her to tell their stories. "I put the mute button on them until I became pregnant with my son, now I can't get them to shut up." She wrote five unpublished novels before her son turned three. She hopes that her stories will be inspirational for people going through the same problems as her characters.
Instead of going the traditional route, sending out querys and receiving rejection letters, she decided to take on the world of indie publishing. She writes contemporary and paranormal romances and hopes to one day step outside her genre and write a horror novel.
She resides just outside of Detroit, Michigan with her husband, two children, two cats and a dog. Summer days are spent at the race track and when night time falls, her secret worlds come alive.
