My father handed my mother to the men who burned her on a pyre. I was left with my Gran, tucked away inside a cabin in the Welsh woods. My mother’s books were all I had left of the brave woman I once idolized. Soon, the woods called me, the dark depths seeming more inviting than my reality. It wasn’t until I awakened that I realized just what my curiosity had done. Before me stood not a beast, but a man. A man so fierce that I would forsake my God just to worship him. Fenrir Exiled for murder. All because of the beast inside me. Blood, war, and women roused me and the moon stilled me. I did not hunt these woods for women, though the men in the black coats do. I pay no mind to them because they leave offerings at my footsteps. I am no God, but I enjoyed being revered. My thoughts never strayed from day-to-day tasks until the day I saw the fox-haired girl. She was to be mine, and I would shed as much blood as Odin would allow to make that so.

Treading the line of betrayal lightly, the two explore their heated connection in secret. The pair are quickly blinded by their own desires and Devina grows impatient with their twisted situation. Hyacinths reluctance to accept her true self pushes Devina over the edge and into a possessive mania that will forever change both of their lives. Twice as Twisted
The tide pulled us under, then she swept us away. Alyssa I never wanted to get married again. I belonged in exotic locations, making a life out of my photography. Lazy days under a high sun in a wine haze, maybe joined by a sexy pool boy. But here I am, engaged and back in Newport Beach where I grew up. I only needed a few weeks, and everything would fall perfectly into place. If I could pull it all off unscathed. What I didn’t expect was for my fiancé to bring his twin sons along for the ride. Three Greek Gods and one dreamy beach house. What could go wrong? Judas I’m the ‘bad’ twin. There’s always one, right? I’m okay with that though, cuz I’m also the one who always gets invited to the party. This move is a fresh start. My chance to explore the taboo part of me that wanted more than friendship with my best friend, Leo. I’ll admit, I loved attention from both men and women. My Greek bloodline puffing out my chest, a beacon on the beach. I could handle beach life easily. Then I met Dad’s fiancée. A total stunner. But damn if it wasn’t a nightmare trying to keep my hands off her. Jeno Dad already met someone, just a year after mom left. One brief, elated moment when I received my acceptance letter from UCLA. The next day we packed up for Southern California. A summer job was the only way I could tolerate this obnoxious town. I preferred dusty bookstores and quiet coffee shops. The day I met Alyssa, that all changed. Left spluttering and speechless. One problem: she was engaged to my father. How was I supposed to sleep in the same house with a woman I barely knew but couldn’t stop thinking about? |
