Four years after suffering the loss of our parents, our brother is murdered right alongside his beautiful wife, the devastation leaving their three children orphaned. Not only have I lost my brother but now I’m forced to take on his two kids and seventeen-year-old stepdaughter, Penelope. But Pen is far from the little girl I remember. No. She’s all woman, with soft curves and plush lips—all things I shouldn’t be noticing. I have three months before she turns eighteen. Three months before she leaves for college. And three months to make sure whatever threat against her life has been thwarted. Too bad for me, those three months will be nothing but torture laced with temptation, threatening to break my resolve. Can I come out of this unscathed, or will this lust drag me into the pits of hell where I belong? PENELOPE. Lies, deceit, and death. It’s all I’ve ever known. And trusting someone? Out of the question. Unfortunately, teenager me didn’t get the memo and I stupidly gave my crush-riddled heart to Jack Crown. He was older, wiser, and apparently a manwhore. I was his brother’s stepdaughter and way too young. Not on his radar, and justifiably so. But that didn’t stop me from falling for the only man who’d ever shown me real affection. No. I let myself trust him, thinking he’d always be there. The one constant in my crappy life. I was wrong. Now, four years later, tragedy strikes again. By life’s irony I’ve landed on his doorstep with only one thing to prove. I’m not the little girl he remembers, and I sure as f*ck don’t need him anymore. Filthy Crown is a spin on the single dad age gap trope where Jack finds himself a new daddy after inheriting his brother's kids and strong-willed stepdaughter.

MELISSA. Giving in to darkness—letting it numb my pain. It’s the only thing I wanted. The only thing I needed. Until him. He saved me that fateful morning, and had it not been for his strong arms wrapping around my fragile body, I wouldn’t be here to tell this tale. One of unimaginable hurt and suffering—but so much love. A love that is blinding and all-consuming. Full of soul-searing passion leaving me starving for just one taste... moreMELISSA. Giving in to darkness—letting it numb my pain. It’s the only thing I wanted. The only thing I needed. Until him. He saved me that fateful morning, and had it not been for his strong arms wrapping around my fragile body, I wouldn’t be here to tell this tale. One of unimaginable hurt and suffering—but so much love. A love that is blinding and all-consuming. Full of soul-searing passion leaving me starving for just one taste. One taste of the mountain man that’s forever burned into my being. But like the true b*tch life is, she’s deprived me of even that. Maverick is my brother’s best friend, and I’m not even on his radar. Too bad I’m not settling for scraps. No. I’ve been given a second chance at life, and there’s no way in hell I’m wasting it. Buckle up, sweetheart. This girl’s on a mission—rules be damned. HUNTER. I f*cked up. I f*cked up bad. My mind, heart, and soul betrayed me. They’ve set their sight on the unattainable—a love that could never be mine. She’s too young, Ericson’s little sister, and way too innocent. Despite what the little spitfire throws at me, I have to stay strong, keeping her at arm's length. But the jokes on me. I’ve pushed her too far. And now that I’ve lost her for good, am I selfless enough to let her go, or will my body finally claim what’s mine? less

HAYLEY. Heartless. That’s what he is. Yes, he’s pretty to look at with his hard body, chiseled jawline, and towering height. And yes, he may charm others with his stoic and confident demeanor, making them feel safe under his guidance as he takes them under his wing—but I know better. It’s all fake. Nothing more than a facade to draw you in, just close enough to rip your heart out and leave you for dead. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… Yeah. That’s not happening... moreHAYLEY.

Nothing more than a facade to draw you in, just close enough to rip your heart out and leave you for dead. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… Yeah. That’s not happening. He thinks me a thief and a liar? Well, then, that’s just what I’ll do. I’m stealing his soul and dragging it to the pits of hell with me, right where it belongs. MATTHEW. I can’t help but be drawn to her. She's smart, beautiful, ambitious… and unfortunately, completely off-limits. But I will not fall. I cannot fall. Not only is she way too young, she’s the enemy. Hayley may have fooled them all with her act of innocence and virtue, but I see her for what she really is, and no matter how tempting she becomes, I will not give in to her trap of seduction. She’s a thief—the mole putting our family in danger. They can’t see it, but I do, and I’ll die proving it if I have to. Tortured Crown is a spin on the age-gap trope.
