The Hope Trilogy
(2025)(A book in the Hope Trilogy series)
An omnibus of novels by Samantha Bushmills
Three books. One unforgettable love story.
Desire, danger, and the fight to survive—follow Max and Sara’s heart-wrenching journey in this dark, emotionally charged trilogy.
I needed a way out.
A psychotic ex. Crushing debt. A life that felt more like survival than living.
Then Max George—powerful, gorgeous, and completely out of my league—offered me something I hadn’t felt in years: a chance to breathe. A fake relationship… with very real rules.
I tried not to fall for him.
But Max doesn’t miss a thing. Not the walls I built. Not the fear I hide. Not the parts of me I thought were long dead.
And with him, I found something I never expected—hope. Maybe even a future.
If my past didn’t destroy it first.
Healing isn’t linear. Ghosts don’t let go easily. And love doesn’t come without a price.
Together, we face shattering betrayals, devastating losses, and choices that threaten to break us apart for good.
Across oceans and heartbreak, one truth remains:
Real love doesn’t run. It fights.
🔥 Perfect for fans of: broken heroine romance • protective heroes • trauma & healing • found family • fake-relationship tension • angsty slow-burn obsession.
⚠️ Content Advisory
Intended for readers 18+. Contains open-door spice, PTSD, trauma following past abuse, profanity, and a psycho ex. Some books in the trilogy include cliffhangers. Please do not read if these themes are triggering for you.
Genre: General Fiction
