The best man I’ve ever known told me he loved me—and I rejected him. It’s been months since that night, when he showed me what it was to kneel at the feet of a man capable of incredible tenderness and delicious agony in the same breath. Months since he opened his heart to me. And months since I crushed it without a second thought. I thought I was doing the right thing. Sacrificing what I so desperately wanted for the sake of our band. For the sake of his friendship with my cheating jerkwad of an ex-boyfriend, who just so happens to be our lead singer. Now, he’s disappeared. And I’m desperate to find him, to tell him how wrong I was. If he wants me on my knees again, begging for forgiveness the only way a good girl knows how, then that’s what I’ll do. Whatever it takes to bring him back to me. Let our love ruin our friendship. Ruin everything. Ruin me, Daddy.

“Do you know what I love most about brats, Ruby Red?” “What, Sir?” “Watching them break.” Years ago, I made a promise to myself. That I would never again put myself at the mercy of a man. Especially a man as sinfully rich and gorgeous as Beckett Stone. Until the day a stupid little bet put me exactly where I swore I’d never be again. On my knees, ready to surrender it all for two little words. Good girl. I keep telling myself it’s casual. Just a club fling I can walk away from whenever I want. And I should. Walk away, that is. Because I’m not the only one with a shattered past. The ghosts that haunt Beckett’s dark, brooding eyes tug at my heartstrings. They make me want to forget all the promises I’ve made for myself. To throw caution to the wind and beg him to take a chance on me. On us. To beg him to Bet on Me, Daddy.

_“You’re going to learn exactly what it means to be Daddy’s little girl.” “You almost make that sound like a threat.” “Not a threat. A promise. One I have every intention of keeping for the rest of my life.”_ I was going to be a doctor. The greatest surgeon the world had ever seen. Until my world comes crashing down around me. Again. Caught in the clutches of the illness that almost took my life once before, I reach out for the only lifeline I can. Daddy. Now, I’m back where he says I belong. In his bed, begging for mercy as he reminds me over and over again exactly who he is. Who I am. But even as I surrender to his commanding ways, those sinister voices in my head keep reminding me I’m unworthy. That I don’t deserve him. And the more he tries to put me back together, the more I just want to beg him to Break Me, Daddy.

“We’re going to ruin you. So you better tell me now if you want us to stop.” To save my sisters, I fled the only home I’ve ever known. And ran straight into the arms of two women designed to tempt me into damnation. Sweet, caring Ivy, with her bright smile and gentle words. Even her touch is like an angel’s, soft and tender and full of promise. Then there’s Cordelia. Strict and commanding, with emerald eyes that make me want to drop to my knees and beg her for pleasures I barely understand. She is Ivy’s complete opposite in every way. Except for how she makes my blood heat with need and my body cry out for her touch. Everything I was taught tells me it’s wrong to want even one of them. Wanting both of them? A one-way ticket to hell. But if that’s what loving them gets me… then I’ll greet the devil with a smile on my face.
