BLURB FROM BOOK 1

Where they rest for eternal life is where a favor is asked.
The stone with the head is where you will be led.
Be certain of the favor you ask, no second is offered.
The debt will be collected when the favor is complete.
A favor asked is a debt owed.

My mom marrying Thomas Valerian was supposed to be our fresh start, but it was the opposite of that.

So far, I’ve been treated like my stepbrother’s new toy, taunted by his friends, and chased by masked men. The leader of the masked men breaks into my room at night, calls me his little witch while ravishing me. Something about him is familiar…

Now my mom has been taken and I’m in debt to the Filthy Few!

BLURB: 

She’s a girl fresh out of juvie, and he’s a boy who never got to speak. Together, they are forbidden, and while he is finding his voice, she discovers her peace.

Broken, and branded a lost cause, with fire in her eyes and a spirit that refuses to die, she is handed a second chance she doesn’t want. She’s adopted into a house with a picture-perfect family. But inside those walls lives an imperfect eighteen-year-old son, who is mute. With no friends and no freedom, the only things he loves are his bike and the long roads he rides. 

He doesn’t need words to haunt her. He doesn’t need to speak to watch her every move. Behind his silence, he is chaos wrapped in ruin, and in her, he sees the same.

They are not blood, but they are forbidden. Together, they are dangerous, drawn by a hunger that shouldn`t exist. When engines roar and secrets come to light, their world becomes something violently alive.

“Ride or die. Love with no breaks.”

Either way… someone`s going down.

Forbidden romance
