She was supposed to be one of them.
I was the boy who never had a chance, an orphan recruited by the devil himself, until the family I never knew gave me something to live for.
Then my brother brought her home—the rich politician’s daughter, a real-life fairytale princess who had no place in our world. We were oil and water, and making her leave became my mission, ’til the little tag-along ended up in my passenger’s seat driving cross-country. That’s when we discovered a common thread… something that ran soul deep. Something hard to resist.
But no one I cared about was safe, and when she left, I made her promise never to come back.
Turns out, she lied.
Now the devil who claimed my future wants her, as well, and when I’m faced with a choice, who will come out alive?
The demons who own me?
The family who loves me?
Or the girl I wasn’t supposed to fall for?
Only the bayou knows…
And its secrets die here.
