How To Be Everything

One night. One thousand dollars. One betrayal that shattered my world. David Richard was the "Alpha King" of Forestwood—my step-brother, my protector, and the man who sold my virginity for a bet.

Step-brother, I'll be your regret. And I'm going to make every second of it burn.
