Beached Girl by Sara Owens
Anna awoke on a desolate beach in a haze, the sand having long since encrusted on her sunburnt lips. She’d been left here to die. The paralytic drug coursing through her bloodstream kept her from escaping the inevitable. Somehow amidst the dark hopelessness, a handsome, stranger Dalton Collins is there, saving her.
Vulnerable and isolated at the bleak, city hospital, Anna finds Dalton back at her side again. Reaching out to her even when she won’t let the police help. She sees the way he interacts with the barbaric man who has become obsessed with silencing her. Dalton presses hard to learn the secret she’s worked so very hard to protect, the secret that’s tied her to this violent man in the first place.
Already having submitted herself to the reality of living every day in fear, Anna finds ever persistent Dalton a serious force to reckon with. Afraid for her life, but almost more afraid of the strength of her intense feelings for this seductive new-found stranger, Anna finds he might be the only safe person she can trust.

A little bit about me, I am a city girl at heart. I have lived here all my life. I love writing and have ever since I can remember. Most of my novel writing started in my teens. In my room late at night, I can recall long hours spent typing away at my writing. Back in the day, I can remember typing on my typewriter, annoying my family relentlessly with the loud key tapping. Nowadays, things have become a lot more technically advanced and a lot quieter.
I try to write a little every day and hope to publish something that you truly enjoy.
Happy Reading!
Here is a short sample from the book:
Anna felt the warm, ocean breeze brush against her cheeks. Her heartbeats were becoming slower now. The sand pressed firmly against her body, sandwiching her here in this exotic hell. She felt her lips crusting; the panic had long since left her. Buried here, left for dead, she felt her body slipping. Her mind concluding she just needed to let go. Her will was lost. The sun having scorched her cheeks, her body paralyzed. The darkness provided an easy escape. Just close your eyes, Anna. She could almost hear the sound in the wind. He would not come back for her; he probably figured she was already dead.
