O With Line Through It

Depois que o navio de cruzeiro colidiu com um recife oculto, passageiros em pânico acabaram me empurrando, junto com Kristen Langford, direto para o mar. Meu namorado, Elijah Jensen, era o capitão do navio, então ele se lançou na água sem hesitar. No entanto, em vez de me salvar, ele agarrou Kristen e subiu com ela para o último bote salva-vidas. Eu me debatia desesperadamente e gritava por socorro, mas ele bateu na minha mão, afastando-a com força. — Você sabe nadar. Pare de fingir para chamar atenção! — disse Elijah. — A temperatura corporal da Kristen estava caindo. Eu precisava levá-la imediatamente a um hospital! As águas ao meu redor estavam completamente escuras, e aquelas palavras soaram como uma sentença de morte. "Então foi assim que tudo terminou…" Quando a pulseira de rastreamento que eu sempre usava foi encontrada dentro de um tubarão, Elijah acabou mergulhando sozinho em águas infestadas por tubarões, procurando por três dias e três noites sem descanso. No fim, o brilhante capitão que um dia dominou os oceanos nunca mais poderá navegar.

Os dois irmãos com quem eu ia me casar... Se apaixonaram pela filha adotiva da minha família. Para agradá-la, me enganaram para raspar a cabeça e me trancaram sozinha numa estação de esqui por uma noite inteira. Por causa do pedido dos meus pais, eu suportei tudo em silêncio. Mas naquele dia, quando a filha adotiva cortou o dedo ao fatiar frutas, eles me obrigaram a doar 2000ml de sangue no hospital. Chorando, supliquei que parassem. Eles apenas disseram que aquilo era o castigo por eu maltratar a princesinha deles. Foi ali que meu coração morreu de vez. Virei as costas... E entrei no carro do irmão mais velho deles. Os dois, que viviam dizendo que queriam romper o noivado, apareceram no meu casamento... Chorando de arrependimento.

Harriet thought the worst thing she’d done this December was surrender to a stranger in a dark room one reckless night that left her shaking, breathless, and certain she’d never see him again. She was wrong. The next morning, she arrives home for Christmas only to learn her parents have rushed off on an emergency trip, leaving her alone to supervise the renovation of their house. Except… she’s not alone. Devon, the boy who grew up in their home like family, the “almost-brother” she hasn’t seen in years, opens the door older now, broader, too handsome for her peace of mind. And when he looks at her, she feels it in her bones. Because he isn’t just Devon. He’s the stranger from last night. The man who took her virginity. The man she swore she’d forget. Now they’re trapped in the same house for the holidays, two people who should never have crossed that line, pretending not to remember the way his hands fit her body, the way she whispered his name without knowing it was his.

TRIGGER WARNING!! This book contains explicit, non-consensual sexual content, revenge rape, intense humiliation, degradation, forced orgasm, bully-victim power reversal, and other extreme dark themes.  It is written for readers who actively seek out this type of taboo erotica.  If any of those things will upset or harm you, please close the book now.  No part of this story should ever be replicated in real life. This isn't a love story. It's sex. It's Leo's revenge. Leo was never one of them. His father brought strangers into his home. Gianna, the woman he never married, and her three daughters: Beatrice, Sarah, and Avery. They weren't related to Leo. Not by blood, and definitely not by law. When his father died two years later, Leo lost his place in his house, he was turned into an errand boy, a servant. And what followed next, was two years of humiliation. Of being treated like a beggar in a home that once belonged to him. Of being reminded, every single day, that he was nothing. But what happens when Leo snaps? What happens when Leo discovers the ultimate secret that could get him everything he had once lost? He claims it all. (Note: This is the longer version of Leo's story. Fucking my step-family into submission)

Jace Thorne—my childhood crush—crashed a car with me. I walked away fine. He "lost his memory." Plot twist: my dead grandma's soul moved in. "Jace is faking amnesia again to mess with my sweet granddaughter. If I were alive, I'd break his legs myself!" I blinked. Hard. Grandma's voice wouldn't shut up. "In her past life, Demi was miserable. Jace left her to rot while he partied with that Stafford girl. Had a heart attack, and he was lighting birthday candles. Trash!" Then came the kicker: "Your grandpa's letting you pick your fiancé. Don't even think about Jace. Pick Leroy. That boy's actually decent." Right on cue, Grandpa strolled into the hospital with the elder squad, slapped down pics of four legacy heirs, and told me to choose. I didn't even blink. Picked Leroy Leighton—my childhood nemesis turned fiancé. Because yeah, I'm a grandma's girl to the core. If she said Jace Thorne didn't love me, then I was so done.

That is, if he lets her...
