I want to be set free from this unholy marriage, this hellish life where dreams are paid for in blood. Just when I come to the realization that I’ll never escape without a bullet, the prodigal son returns home. Eyes that glitter with vengeance and coveted desire watch me like I’m all he wants. Gio. Thou shalt not covet. I left home four years ago as a broken and bleeding kid, but I returned as a man with scars. Used to think I had mommy issues, but I don’t. I have daddy’s pretty wife issues. My stepmother is the only payment I will accept for the sins of my father; her and his blood. ***This duet is a dark step romance, and there are themes that may be triggering for some readers. Ugly Truths is book one in The Lies Duet. The theme of this book is a stepmother/stepson relationship. If you have any triggers, I do not recommend reading this duet. 18++. less
