There’s no better way to do that than on a summer trip to Sicily with my best friend. I really need to get him, and the night we shared out of my head. He’s off limits, someone I can never have. Well, I guess you could say the disaster really started two years ago when I met Sterling Jacobson, my best friend’s older brother, for the first time. The mess that is my life started with one too many tequila shots. After all, she’s already broken the unbreakable rules in a failed bid to escape her situation. A fake relationship with her blackmailer's nemesis isn't going to make her life any easier, but smart choices never were her forte. Elaine is still paying for the last time she trusted a man when Master Holden, the sadist who tempts her like no other, asks her to pose as his girlfriend only days after punishing and promptly rejecting her at the Manor. Now Holden needs a fake girlfriend to keep his father off his back and out of his life.Īs long as everyone plays by the rules, it should be doable. So when his scheming father conspires to force him into marriage with a corporate shark – as if that's a thing people do – the lie is born. Apart from upholding the unbreakable house rules at the Manor, he has a few unbreakable rules of his own:
Master Holden plays hard and punishes harder. He makes me the queen of his world, makes me fall in love, then reveals the biggest secret of all.Pacts and Predicaments (Masters of The Manor Book 3) by Jo Henny Wolf I should be terrified, but the man of secrets makes me feel funny things. I’ve made a deal with the devil and leapt from the frying pan into the fire. I have nothing to offer but myself, but something about the look in his eyes and the tight clench of his chiseled jaw tells me he won’t say no. Moments before my dreams die, I rush to his aid. Behind the mask, he’s the most dangerous man in New York. On the surface, he’s a wealthy real estate tycoon, respected by politicians and the city’s elite. They say a wolf will chew off its foot to escape a trap, and that’s precisely what I do when I flee into the arms of my father’s greatest enemy. With a handshake and a signature, my dreams will die, and a new nightmare will begin. Like any mafia princess, I’m expected to stay silent, submit, and make my family proud. It’s the day he’s waited for-the day he sells my hand to the highest bidder. Until the eve of my twentieth birthday, when I learn my future holds more misery than my past. While he schemes, he keeps me locked away, protected, isolated, and hidden from his violent world. I’m penniless, powerless, and frequently reminded that I’m nothing more than property to barter amongst his powerful friends. I’ve spent my life in a cage designed by my father- at his mercy and whim. Duplicity (Serpico Family #1) by Matilda Martel – Free eBooks Download
