To the girl in her mid 20’s

You’ve spent years daydreaming about this phase in your life. Thinking about the dream job you’d have. The funny friends and funnier partner. Your life would be so Insta perfect it would seem too good to be true. But you would work hard for it, you would achieve all those life goals and come out on top. Because you’re hardworking. Determined. Tenacious. And that’s the road to success right?

But here you are and your life is anything but a dream. It’s a below average reality you never imagined living.

Sometimes you’ll want to quit, and that’s okay

The toughest thing you’ll ever have to hear and deal with in your life is the truth. The truth about your job, your body, your social life, your relationships. Here’s a toughie for you: I’ve quit before. I gave up because of fear, because of the possibility of failure, because of the prospect of embarrassment and because of an endless list of other “what-ifs” that lived inside my head. But, so have you, and that’s okay.

Haven of Obedience by Marina Anderson

What happens when your need for change leads you down a path of dark desire? Do you explore the unknown? Or follow the most likely path of shying away? For Natalie ‘The Haven’ is that something unknown and that something dark. And to her own surprise she’s willingly exploring it.

Natalie is determined to change the direction that her love life is heading in; stale, unsatisfying and always ending with the man walking away. After she discovers ‘The Haven’ and her darkly handsome tutor Simon, Natalie knows that after two weekends away at the adult only retreat, her love life will never be the same again.
