Tatum Harding. Resident pilot. A man of surprises. Self-proclaimed voyeur. At the monthly dinner with the Brotherhood, he reveals his gift—a trip to Los Angeles, where I’m scheduled to debut as a designer at the Fashion Festival. To sweeten the deal, he allows me a plus-one. Sebastian is my only choice, but there’s just one condition. Tatum wants to watch. The idea should disturb me, and when he makes it clear he wants to join, I definitely shouldn’t agree. Because grave decisions come with consequences, and this one is a doozy, spawning so much guilt that I compound the mistake with an even bigger one. A single moment of distrust turns my world upside down, ending in trauma and tragedy. I’ve survived a lifetime’s worth of suffering at the hands of these men, but this… This will be the catalyst that destroys me. Part 9 of The Zodiac Queen. Intended for mature readers who enjoy dark and explicit themes. Reader discretion is advised.
