“Little sis is blushing again. That pink’s not from the room, is it?” He dragged a finger along her jaw, slowly. “Tell me, did your panties go missing… or did you just want us to notice?” When Thalia’s heart is shattered by betrayal, her mother sends her away—to a dark, creepy mansion in the middle of nowhere. There, she must live with her cold stepfather and his four mysterious sons: Blaze, Jax, Rhys, and Milo. They’re not boys. They’re wild, dangerous, too hot to look at—and totally off-limits. Everyone calls them “troubled.” But Thalia quickly learns there’s something even darker inside them. Something not human. The mansion whispers with secrets, the moon shines too brightly, and the air feels too alive. Then comes the warning: a strange event called the Lunar Surge is coming. People are changing—becoming more aggressive, more primal. More... hungry. Thalia should run. But her body won’t listen. Because her stepbrothers aren’t just teasing her. They’re watching her. Touching her. Whispering things that make her knees go weak. And her body? It’s reacting in ways she doesn’t understand… or want to stop. She came to heal. She’s not sure she’ll make it out sane.

Eu sempre gostei de correr. Na verdade desde pequeno sempre assistia as corridas de Fórmula 1 e NASCAR. E desde então eu sempre sonhei em correr em uma dessas pistas... melhor dizendo, eu sempre sonhei em correr em um campeonato de NASCAR.

Synopsis (Version Française) « Je te déteste ! Tu n’es pas notre mère ! » Melissa recula, bouleversée. « Tu… tu l’as entendu ? » souffla-t-elle, pointant du doigt leur plus jeune enfant. Jaden esquissa un sourire en coin, la tête légèrement inclinée. « Bien sûr. Il n’a pas tort, de toute façon. » Elle avait tout sacrifié pour lui — passant du statut d’héritière riche et respectée à celui d’épouse négligée d’un homme ruiné. Malgré le passé difficile de Jaden et son précédent mariage, Melissa était restée à ses côtés, élevant ses enfants et aidant à reconstruire son entreprise jusqu’à en faire un empire rival de celui de sa propre famille. Elle pensait enfin recevoir les roses qu’elle méritait. Elle croyait que Jaden Oscar l’aimerait davantage maintenant qu’ils avaient tout. Mais la réalité brisa ses espoirs. Quelques années à peine après leur réussite, Jaden rentra à la maison avec une autre femme… qu’il présenta comme la véritable mère de ses enfants. Melissa se retrouva seule — sans mari, sans enfants, sans famille. Sous la pluie battante, fixant la maison qu’elle appelait autrefois la sienne, elle fit un vœu solennel : se venger de tous ceux qui l’avaient trahie, et plus que tout, de son cher mari, Jaden Oscar. --- ️ Note de l’auteure > Cette œuvre est ma propre création.
