Unstable — Charity Parkerson

“A bottle of liquor a day keeps the demons at bay.”

After a childhood so horrific a book was published about it, Jimmy understandably didn't become the most well-adjusted adult. He's made it his business to blend into the background while drinking himself into an early grave. That is, until he pulls a homeless teen from the dumpster.

Living on the streets hasn't been easy for Eli. Anything is better than the life he left behind. Strangers haven't always had the best of intentions when they claim they want to help. Jimmy is different. That doesn't mean Eli won't rob him blind and disappear into the night.

When Eli returns, older and prepared to repay his debt, he never expects to give up more than his savings to the sexy bar owner. Sometimes, it takes two people who've seen hell to create heaven. Unfortunately, they'll have to face their demons if they hope to make it work between them.
