From Here To Eternity by A.L. Jackson is a steamy and suspense-filled romance that weaves together themes of danger, passion, and secrets.

River is aware that his life is too perilous to involve someone as innocent as her, but their paths cross again, leading to an intense and unavoidable connection. 

The novel opens with an electrifying premise as River, living on the edge of danger, encounters a woman who immediately captivates him.

A.L. Jackson skillfully builds the chemistry between the two characters, balancing their deep emotional connection with the looming threats of their respective secrets. River’s protective nature is front and center when he finds the woman again, this time working at a doctor’s office.
