They promised me to him. Now we’ll destroy one another. I never should have fallen in love with him. He makes me believe he loves me—the only good in a life I’ve never wanted. By the time his manipulation and lies come to light, it’s far too late to shield my heart. He isn’t the only one keeping a secret, though, and mine just might save me from his possession. These men have underestimated me my entire life: a frightened girl who grew into a brittle woman, hungry only for revenge. I’ve bided my time, nurturing my rage; and now it demands only one thing. To bathe our world in blood. Not even Calix will stop me now. Authors Note: The Massacred Dreams duet is a dark mafia romance and includes elements that may be triggering to some readers.
