From the author of PUSH comes a new epic tale of unexpected forbidden romanceβ¦
The ache of tragedy sunk deep, like the claws of a wicked monster.
To heal was to remember what my godfather told me when I was sixβ¦
Pain is a part of life. If you prepare for it, it will hurt less.
He would know, after all. Lazarus Weston is pain personified.
The scowling man with stormy eyes and tattoos covering his excessive muscles is not only my godfather, but also my dadβs business partner and best friend. A permanent fixture in our lives. Well, in Dadβs, not mine.
But when grief mixes with confusing new feelings, Iβm forced to see Lazarus differently, in a way that severely complicates my world.
Because heβs too old for me. Heβll never be mine.
Iβm not allowed to have him, but obsession burns a fine line between canβt and wonβt.
I canβt want herβ¦
The curse on my heart is heavy, the tale of my malediction drenched in brutal loss. Wearing ink like scars reminds me of the tomb I left behind.
Iβve been expecting pain all my life, yet Iβm still unprepared, failing to see my downfall until sheβs wrapped around my soul like barbed wire.
Tracien Wright. My best friendβs daughter. Part of my life strictly through association. She was never meant to be more than that.
But Traci is a trickster. A skilled predator in the most unexpected package, oblivious to her own power.
Sheβll learn the hard way that not all beasts should be hunted.
Iβm not what she thinks I am, having rose from a pit, only to bury myself in secrets and lies.
Deep down Iβd love nothing more than to have her. But I donβt get to keep nice things.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and DieselβThe Vipers.
They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.
Yes, sold me.
They own me now.
Iβm theirs in every sense of the word. But Iβve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and wonβt stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.
The Vipers? Iβm going to make them regret the day they took me.
This girl? She bites too.
*18+ Reverse Harem Romance. Warning this book contains scenes and references of abuse/assault that some readers may find triggering. Along with graphic sex scenes and violence. This is a dark book*

Hate me and tell me Iβm wrong.

Good girls wanted to tame him. Bad girls want to be tainted by him. Everyone bowed down to him. And me?
I hated Zeppelin Hunt with every fiber of my being.
Which was why I stayed away from the arrogant bad boy with tattoos and a rap sheet.
Until I couldnβt.
Until we traded favors, and I owed him three months of my life. I never thought I would end up in his bed, and when I did, I had to remind myself that he hated me as much as I hated him.
Until I didnβt.
Zepp Hunt was no prince, and I absolutely refused to be his damsel in distressβ¦
