Tainted. Dirty. Those are the words my family use to describe me. It doesn’t help that after my mother escaped them all years ago, she was tragically killed and I was returned back to them like a neat little package.
My aunt hates me. My grandfather despises me.
My life until now has been one of keeping my mouth shut and keeping my head down, praying no one sees me.
And then he comes along. Conrad Blake. He’s confident, an egotistical arsehole but I’ll admit there is something attractive about him.
He’s my aunt’s fiancé. Forbidden fruit. Completely off-limits and yet, is it my imagination that he seems to watch me, follow me, stalk my presence, even?
My aunt certainly thinks so. She sees me as a threat. So she drugs me, dresses me up, and offers me like a sacrificial lamb, a bargaining chip to her handsome fiancé. Of course Conrad takes it, how could he not, I’m splayed out, immobile, completely at his mercy.
Except, he doesn’t want just one night. He doesn’t want just that moment. He wants more. He wants all of me, every single piece.
And now he’s stolen me away, locked me away, forced me to become his perfect little doll.
I have to escape him. I have to get away.
But how can I when I don’t have any friends, any money, anything?
In our world, a fallen woman only ends up at one place and I know that’s where my family will send me if they get hold of me.
This man may have ruined me, but now he’s the only chance of redemption I have left…
