Solene
All I have that’s worthwhile is my family—even if the Duponts aren''t my blood. When the closest thing I have to a father gets involved with shady dealings and wracks up debt with the city’s criminal underbelly, I know his daughter Everly will be a casualty. Thankfully, Nathaniel ‘Thane’ Pierce, an intimidating and mysterious criminal-for-hire, offers to pay off the Duponts’ debt and keep Everly from the sharks who have come to collect. She’s my best friend, and I’ll do anything to protect her. But I can’t fathom Thane’s terms.
He only wants one thing: me.
Thane
Solene intrigued me the moment I first saw her. Something about the scars on her face enraptured me in a way no woman has before. Our little scuffles and her clear penchant for pain only intensified my fascination. This arrangement is only temporary; I offered Larkin a loan while using his surrogate daughter as collateral. Maybe I used the wrong person to motivate him to pay me back, but I’m in no great hurry to end these little games we play.
But it seems my past will put an end to us before I can figure out just what this woman means to me.
This is a dark, age-gap, standalone romance with a cruel, possessive MMC. This content may be distressing and triggering. Please read with discretion.
