Max thought he could outrun his past-driving through endless desert roads, a duffel bag filled with stolen cash sitting beside him, and the weight of his choices pressing down on him like the heat of the sun. He's a man on the edge, haunted by the memory of his wife, Eve, whose illness consumed their life and pushed Max into a spiral of desperation.
As Max speeds through a desolate landscape, he encounters Eli, a mysterious figure whose presence is as unsettling as it is comforting. Together, they navigate a journey filled with the ghosts of Max's past, fractured memories of a life once full of hope, and the inescapable truth he's been running from. But Eli is no ordinary hitchhiker, and as the miles stretch on, Max begins to question everything he thought he knew about guilt, forgiveness, and the choices we make when love is on the line.
The Cost of Forever is a taut, heart-wrenching story of love, guilt, and the impossible choices we make when time is running out. For fans of gripping psychological suspense and emotional journeys, this novel will take you to the edge and leave you breathless.
