A ghost of Nora's past haunts her day and night. Not a mere entity or apparition, but a man. One who continues to stalk her day and night, watching, waiting, touching... For what? Perhaps, for her to remember him-to remember all the memories of the past she no longer holds. But, corruption whispers another tale, pulling and pushing her in two separate directions. Will she sway in one direction or another, or will she rise above them all, and shed light on the darkness trying to consume her whole? **Yes, the main character does have a villain arc in this book!** Quote from Corrupt "You will submit to me, Nyx." "I will not." "We'll see." His exhale hisses between his locked jaw as I sink my teeth into his flesh, drinking deeply to ensure he experiences more pain than pleasure. "Mark my words. I still feel plenty, and when you submit to the dark waters of my love, I will allow you to bend down on your knees in supplication, begging me to forgive you for making this so difficult." I lift myself from straddling his lap, allowing him to remain alone with his painful erection. "I don't even recognize you anymore." I pause, grinning down at the marble flooring of our bedroom. "A sentiment we can both agree on." I shrug. "Despite that, being the villain of your story has never felt so empowering. Your desperation enlivens me, Nyx, and I cannot wait to watch your misery cripple you into my awaiting hand.” Authors ***This is Book 2 in The Promising Series, and the FINAL installment in this series.*** This book contains explicit content not suitable for some audiences.
