"They all want me. The nobody. Their savior.
I'd always idolized them growing up, but since they forced me back, I see them for who they are. My four beautiful, angry boys grew into stubborn, selfish men. Men who take what they want with no regard for anyone or anything. Except maybe me.
But I won't let my feelings blind me. All four men are masters of manipulation and so incredibly toxic. Despite it all, I want them too.
Burned bridges and buried bodies litter the roads they've traveled, and the crimes they've committed are threatening to unravel the life they've built. They've made enemies in a world I want no part of.
This time, I'm going to do more than warn them. This time, I'm doing everything different.
But can I stay and sacrifice the life I wanted for myself? Or will history repeat itself?
Contains mature themes."
"Life had always been about right and wrong.
No gray area. No exceptions.
But my time with the bastard sons of the Institution were slowly changing my mind–forcing me to see that sometimes the only options available to someone were bad and worse.
Their justice was different than mine and I struggled with it.
Except now, they were gone. Every day I’d fought to leave them, to go home. But…I wanted them back. What did that say about me?
I was too afraid to look in the mirror.
What if I do get back to them? Their father wanted them dead.
Could I sacrifice the life I loved for them? Could I forsake my sister to stay?
Yet a nagging feeling in the back of my mind said they were glad to be rid of me. I’d been a thorn in their side from day one. Why wouldn’t they be happy I was gone?
But I was taken for a reason. Now the most important question was…
Am I bait? Or collateral damage?"
"'Why are you all so pretty?'
It all started when I was six years old. I was homeless. They were held prisoner.
I saved them. Even though it put me in the system. They believed we built an unbreakable bond forged by trauma. These beautiful, damaged boys saw me differently than the rest of the world.
As much as I wished I could feel the same. I couldn't. These boys—men—had too much anger. Too much hate.
They wanted to burn down anything and everyone who had wronged them. It was eating them up inside. I tried to warn them. Instead of listening to me, they were set on destroying themselves.
And me in the process.
Contains mature themes."
"WHAT IF YOU WERE PLACED IN AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION BUT GIVEN A CHOICE?
I’m Amorette Monet Black, a victim of abduction. I have been granted a choice that is often denied to most women in my situation, but I’m faced with a dilemma –
Sell my body or my mind?
Trapped in a cage with no way out, I fight back every chance I get. My anger fuels me and I am relentless in my efforts to make the monsters suffer like they’ve made us suffer.
But then, a man arrives and offers me salvation. He promises to rescue me from this hellish existence. However, there is a catch - he is one of them.
One of four cruel, corrupt, and controlling brothers.
Victim or accomplice?
I know what decision I need to make, but will I be able to live with the consequences?"
"Broken isn’t forever.
It’s time I worked on myself and my mental health. I won’t give up.
Broken can’t be forever.
What happened to Eli still haunts my thoughts no matter what I do to block it out.
Broken won’t be forever.
I see Lauren in myself and it hurts. I see Kenzo and Atticus and it hurts. I run into Saint and Ambrose and it hurts. Then there’s Drake, so determined to reopen the wounds of the past.
Please don’t let broken be forever. It hurts.
"
"I’m not crazy.
I’m the product of a schizophrenic mother who seemed more evil than human, and a bipolar father who didn’t love me enough to stay.
But I’m not crazy.
Now I’m struggling with life and question myself and my decisions every single day. Are these signs? Red flags? I won’t let myself look too close.
I refuse to be crazy.
Then four men swoop in just when I need them. They’re protective, supportive, and everything I never had even though we’re unconventional. I want to be the person they need me to be. I need it.
But I’m afraid...that I’m crazy. "
"So close.
We were so close to getting free.
A few more deals here.
A few more nasty secrets there.
All in the name of the cause of course.
Then she walked in at the wrong place, wrong time.
Should we kill her?
Keep her?
Making the right decision was critical, but we were literally at a crossroads.
That’s how the top tier of Alpha Delta Omega inducted our unofficial fourth member.
But we weren’t who we said we were. And danger threatened us on every corner.
She should be very afraid of us.
Or should we be afraid of her?"
"New town. New school. Same lies.
This is my senior year, and not only have my parents moved me to a new place where I know nothing and no one, they are determined to make me fall in line with the life they want me to have.
Not the life that I want. But what fits perfectly into their world.
I'm looking for any possible way to escape this prison and leave them behind. Which has been harder than I thought.
An opportunity to escape appears. And I'm going to take it. I'm going to use four so-called perfect guys in this new town to make it happen. The ones that have it all, or so everyone thinks.
And they're going to be my ticket out."
"Four guys. One girl. Dangerous truths.
Now that I maneuvered my parents into giving me the future I wanted, life seems easy. I finally have some freedom to enjoy my senior year without feeling like I'm slowly suffocating under the twisted morals and warped expectations of my parents.
But it's not long until everything starts to fall apart. The pretty lies that kept my world tied up in a pretty red bow? They're starting to unravel.
And not just for me. Something's wrong with Jonah. No matter how I push, he's not letting me or the guys in to help.
Then there's the tension between Thatcher and Beck. Not to mention the sudden change in my friendship with Rhys.
How do you stay afloat when the ugly truths emerge from the pretty lies?"
