LOGINKasey Starling has loved Leo McIver for years; the golden boy with the easy smile and reckless charm. But to him, she’s always been invisible. So when his older brother, Landon McIver; the ruthless, president-in-waiting of their Iron Serpents Brotherhood, offers to teach her how to make Leo fall for her, she agrees. Against her better judgment. Landon is everything Leo isn’t; dark where Leo is bright, dangerous where Leo is kind. What starts as lessons in seduction soon turns into something far more twisted… and intoxicating. By the time Kasey realizes Landon never planned to help her win his brother, it’s too late. She’s already his favorite mistake. And he’s the one she can’t stop wanting.
View MoreKasey’s POV The afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the reception, but the warmth I felt was entirely from the man beside me. We were finally husband and wife after two long years of waiting. My white dress still felt a little unreal against my skin, and every time I looked down at the simple gold band on my finger next to Landon’s, my stomach did a happy flip. This was it. Us. Forever. I spotted Darren and Ilya across the room, weaving through the crowd. My heart gave a quick, surprised squeeze. They actually showed up. I lifted my hand and waved them over. They noticed almost immediately and Darren nudged Ilya slightly before they both changed direction and made their way toward us. By the time they reached us, Darren was already smiling faintly. "Congratulations, you two." He beamed. "You came!" The words left my mouth before I could even stop them. I moved instinctively, stepping forward to him but Landon’s grip tightened, pulling me back against him before I could ev
Landon's POVI stood at the end of the aisle with my chest tight as hell, trying not to lose it right in front of everybody. Tears kept building up in my eyes no matter how much I blinked them back. I couldn’t help it.Fuck. Do not cry. Do not fucking cry.But Christ, she was a vision. The dress she was wearing wasn’t some puff of frothy lace. It was sleek like poured cream and hugged every curve I’d memorized in the dark. It had these long sleeves that went all the way to her wrists with delicate pearls that caught the light every time she breathed. The neckline dipped just enough to make my mouth go dry, and the skirt fell in a smooth, clean line to the floor, making her look like some elegant statue that had decided to walk. And the veil. A fucking cloud of tulle that hid her face from me, making me want to rip it off with my teeth.My eyes darted to the tiny hurricane in front of her. Hazel. Our two-year-old daughter. She was a perfect mini-Kasey from her riot of brown curls to t
Kasey’s POVHis lips pressed against mine softly."God, baby, you’re awake," he breathed against my mouth. "I’m so fucking glad. I thought—""I’m okay," I whispered, cutting him off before he could finish whatever dark thought had been sitting on his chest. I lifted my arms and hugged him as best as I could, wincing slightly when the IV line tugged at my arm."Are you hurt?" he asked quietly, pulling back just enough to look at me. His eyes moved all over my face like he was checking for damage. "Does anything hurt? Head? Stomach? Tell me—"Before I could even open my mouth to answer, Darren cleared his throat from the chair beside the bed."I’ll go grab the doctor now that you’re here," he said, already heading for the door."Thanks, man," Landon said without looking away from me.Once the door clicked shut behind Darren, Landon leaned in again and kissed me deeply. It felt like he was trying to make up for lost time, like every minute he’d spent thinking he might lose me had been bu
Kasey’s POVFor five days, I had lived with the quiet certainty that Landon was looking for me.It was the only thing that kept me from breaking completely. Every hour that dragged by, every time the door opened or footsteps echoed down the hall, a small part of me held on to that belief. He wouldn’t stop. He wouldn’t give up. He would find me.But I never thought he’d show up so soon, and definitely not like this: tied to a chair looking helpless while his uncle circled him like a shark.It almost felt like they had lured him here on purpose. Like they used me as bait and he swam right into the trap. My heart ached every time I caught a glimpse through the cracked door. I strained to hear what they were saying but their voices stayed low and muffled. Snatches of angry words floated in, but nothing clear enough to make sense of the back and forth.Then that bitch Kendra walked in. I watched her lean down and spit in Landon’s face before smacking him hard across the cheek. The sound of
Headlights from the other car washed over the road we had just left. I could see the glow through the leaves and branches around us. I sank lower in my seat and held my breath, afraid even the smallest movement would give us away.The car slowed. Then it stopped. Right where we'd been."They went t
My eyes lit up. "Really? Oh man, I miss them so much. It's been forever since I've seen anyone.""You’re smiling," Darren said quietly."I know," I replied, unable to stop. "I can’t help it."He studied me for a second, like he was trying to memorize that expression."I didn’t realize you missed th
Kasey’s POVI woke up with my mouth tasting like sour grapes and my neck sore from the way I’d been curled up on the couch. For a moment, I didn’t move. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to shake off that thick, heavy feeling that came with sleeping too long. It felt like my body ha
The fridge light spilled over me in a pale glow as I leaned in, pushing aside containers Rosa, the head cook had labeled in her neat handwriting. Soup. Cut fruit. Some kind of lentil thing she’d been insisting I eat all week. Nothing looked good. Nothing felt right. I wasn’t even sure what I was l
