Free Audio Book 🎧: Does It Hurt?, by H. D. Carlton

This is the story of a lost girl, grappling with her identity and desperate to escape her past. After a daring escape from a house, she flees with nothing but the clothes on her back and stolen shoes. Struggling to find purpose, she finds herself entangled with faceless men who leave no lasting impression—until she meets Enzo Vitale. Enzo, a mysterious man with a deep affinity for the sea and its predators, takes her under his wing and they share a fateful moment under a waterfall, resulting in her adopting his identity.

Enzo, whose true passion lies in the depths of the ocean, is not so different from the monstrous creatures he encounters. Little did she know that he had lured her onto his boat with the intention of seeking vengeance for her past transgressions. Trapped together during a ferocious storm that leaves them shipwrecked, the girl finds herself seeking shelter in a decaying lighthouse. Here, she must contend with the enigmatic Enzo, who despises her while simultaneously desiring her.

As she navigates her perilous situation, the girl realizes that her struggle for survival goes beyond questioning her own identity. The old caretaker of the desolate island where the lighthouse stands harbors intentions that may be far more sinister than she ever anticipated. In this battle for her life, she must confront not only the dangers of her environment but also the darkness lurking within those around her. It's no longer a matter of who she is, but rather if she can endure and emerge from this harrowing ordeal alive.
