Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book to a very dear friend of mine. Finally, at the age of 43, I met and soon realized how amazing and beautiful she was. I fell head over heels in love with this woman and was prepared to put my life on the line for her.

Unfortunately, as a result of domestic violence that she experienced in her marriage, the mental scars she carried from so many years of psychological abuse had hurt her.

So much, that even after a year or more, I was unable to help, even though it was similar to what I had been through.

She is the most incredible woman I’ve ever met in my life; however, she is the only one who doesn’t know it.

Book two of the Aussie Larrikins serious was written to promote awareness of domestic violence against both men and woman in all its forms, both physical and psychological.

In no situation should it ever be acceptable. This very special lady has changed my life in so many ways and will always be in my heart. And I will never stop loving her.
