*~*Love Note: Jason to Annie – Lost Souls Series by Eliza Freed*~*
When two lost souls find each other, are they still lost?
Charlotte O’Brien is lost in the devastation of her parents’ death. With her foundation in ruins, she buries herself in an unlikely lover, Jason Leer.
When they’re together it’s everything, but when they’re apart it’s utterly frustrating. Can love survive when distance is measured in more than just miles?
Forgive Me is the first book in The Lost Souls Series.
Some things can’t be forgiven…
Charlotte O’Brien should forgive God for her parents’ death. She should forgive her boyfriend for his one horrific mistake that separated them, and she should forgive herself for cutting them both off, but instead she hates everyone.
But when her childhood friend Noble Sinclair arrives, his passion reignites the spark that had vanished so completely in Charlotte’s gray existence. And in Noble’s arms, Charlotte finally begins to wonder if she might be ready to choose the future with Noble over her shattered past.
Redeem Me is book 2 in the Lost Souls series.
“You need to be careful with perfection. It’s brilliant at hiding its flaws.”
Having lost everything she holds dear—and then some—Charlotte O’Brien had almost given up hope. Until an unepexted love opened her heart to the possibility of second chances. But now, will Charlotte be brave enough to take the risk that love be enough to save her wounded soul?
The stunning conclusion to Eliza Freed’s provocative Lost Souls series.
Wow…Jason wrote an awesome note…

Annie,
It’s been almost six months…one hundred and sixty-eight days. I know you moved home. I know you’re hurt and angry. I know I’d do anything if you’d just come back.
I know you still love me.
What do you dream of, Annie? Is it me? In your dreams is everything the way it used to be? Because it will be that way again as soon as you let me back in. On the nights I’m granted the gift of sleep you come to me. You slip off your dress and climb on top of me. You tell me how strong you are because of me, how nothing can ever hurt us as long as we’re together. Your hair hangs down your bare back, and you smile like the world can’t touch you, because it can’t if we don’t let it. In my dreams you are safe and loved, and exactly where you should be.
But then I wake up and you’re in New Jersey and my hell continues.
I can fix this. I can make you feel safe again. I can make you know how much I love you. You don’t need to do a thing, but let me. I’ll come to New Jersey, or New York, or wherever you want to be. I can’t live the rest of my life only alive in my dreams. And you can’t either.
Your heart’s still here. The locket hangs from its chain on the corner of my bed right where you left it. I carry it in my pocket when I bulldog and hang it back up every night. Come back and get it, Annie. You can bring my heart back with you.
I promised I wouldn’t call anymore, but I want to come get you. So much has changed, but the way I need you, every minute of every day, is the exact same. It can be the same between us. We can go back.
Call me, Annie. Come to Oklahoma. Say something—your silence is killing me.
You love me in my dreams. I know you love me when you’re awake.
The only one,
Jason
Eliza Freed graduated from Rutgers University and returned to her hometown in rural South Jersey. Her mother encouraged her to take some time and find herself. After three months of searching, she began to bounce checks and her neighbors began to talk; her mother told her to find a job.
She settled into Corporate America, learning systems and practices and the bureaucracy that slows them. Eliza quickly discovered her creativity and gift for story telling as a corporate trainer and spent years perfecting her presentation skills and studying diversity. It’s during this time she became an avid observer of the characters we meet and the heartaches we endure. Her years of study have taught her laughter is the key to survival, even when it’s completely inappropriate.
She currently lives in New Jersey with her family and a misbehaving beagle named Odin. An avid swimmer, if Eliza is not with her family and friends, she’d rather be underwater. While she enjoys many genres, she has always been a sucker for a love story…the more screwed up the better.
