How do you send an SOS when the world thinks you're living a perfect life?

Sierra Mallory has it all—an adoring husband, a promising career as a clinical psychologist, and a life that seems picture-perfect. But when her husband, Oscar Teague, a high-ranking officer in the Marines, returns from a harrowing helicopter crash, everything changes. The man who once held her close is now a stranger, his love twisted by a darkness she can’t comprehend.

As Oscar’s behavior grows increasingly erratic, Sierra fears for her safety, but she’s determined to save their marriage and uncover the truth behind his transformation. What she doesn’t know is that the truth is far more terrifying than she could ever imagine.

After a tragic accident claims her life, Sierra finds herself caught between worlds, her spirit bound by unanswered questions and a love that refuses to let go. As she pieces together the reality of what really happened, she must confront the ultimate betrayal and decide if love can ever be enough to forgive the unforgivable.

In a gripping tale of passion, suspense, and heart-wrenching choices, Sierra Oscar Sierra explores the lengths one woman will go to for the man she loves—even if it means breaking free from the life they once shared.

Sierra Oscar Sierra is a standalone novel and is not part of a series.

Look Inside

They say you know when you're about to die. The world slows, the air thickens, and suddenly, every moment stretches like a rubber band pulled to its breaking point. The transition is, supposedly, pleasant. Like jumping into a cool swimming pool on a hot day.

But that’s not how it happened for me.

For me, it was a flash. A flicker of light, a jolt of pain, and … nothing.

When I opened my eyes, everything was just as I’d left it. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the scent of fresh coffee lingered in the air. Life, as it seemed, went on.

But something wasn’t right. The shadows were too sharp, the colors too bright. The air felt heavy, like I was breathing through a thick, invisible fog. And then there was Oscar—my Oscar. He’d been so different. Distant. As if he were looking right through me, seeing something I couldn’t.

“I’m here,” I whispered, reaching out to touch him. But my hand passed through his shoulder like smoke. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t even blink.

A cold dread curled in my stomach, twisting tighter with every heartbeat. No, not heartbeats. There was no pulse, no warmth, and no life. Only an echo. A ghost of what used to be.

I stumbled backward, my mind spinning, grasping for logic in the madness. Deep down, I already knew the truth. I could feel it. A hollow emptiness where life used to be.

I was dead.

But this wasn’t the end.

It was just the beginning.

Intense and personal

What do you do when you know the person you married isn’t acting like himself but no one listens? TBI is real. It doesn’t just hurt the person who has it but everyone around them.

Outstanding

Read it in one sitting and turned the pages quicker as the storyline got further to the end i was totally engrossed, thrilled and emotional all the way through - loved the ending— great read

Something different but oh so good

Fascinating read. Was really shocked at the story development (in a good way) and didn’t expect the devastating turn it took. What a brilliant idea. Loved the dynamics of the characters and the circumstances which ultimately were easy to foresee but seriously hadn’t because it was so well written.
Loved it.

Emotional and thought provoking

I started this book this morning and read straight through to the end. Since I have a loved one that had suffered a traumatic brain injury, this book was occasionally very hard to read. I appreciated how the author told the story from the perspective of each main character, and especially the thought processes of Oscar, which closely mimicked what we were seeing in our loved one. The unconditional love and the desperation of Sierra was palpable. I still have a lot of resentment about how our situation was not taken seriously until it was at a crisis point, just as Sierra’s requests for help were initially dismissed. The book left me thinking that we still have no standards for dealing with mental illness when merged with the legal system. The author shines a light on our need to reevaluate how we punish those suffering from mental illness as well as how to protect oneself if you’re a loved one or caretaker.

Is love enough to help the darkness of abuse?

I loved this book. It had the undercurrent of abuse but with the excuse of an undiagnosed head injury. The wife, Sierra, showcased how a relatively smart, young woman could ignore “red flags” and feel that love can conquer all. This was a riveting, revealing read with wonderful incite of abuse in a fictional tale. The main and supporting characters were superbly fleshed out; drawing you deep into the story line. Kudos, Ms. Utt!
