Violet Winter learned the hard way that nothing lasts forever. After losing her mother and surviving a relentless battle with leukemia, she built walls around herself, walls no one had ever dared to break through. Letting people in meant risking heartbreak, and she had already lost too much. But then came Billie Eilish. With her, life became lighter, funnier, worth living again. But when your body still carries the scars of the past, how long can forever really last?

[LITTLE SAINT SERIES BOOK 3] Trigger Warning: MxFxF ⚤+⚢ | ADULT CONTENT| #BISEXUAL| 20+ What happens when a sinner doesn't run from the crown- but drops to her knees for it? When obedience becomes ritual, and blood becomes proof? The woman Quinn married is fighting something meaner-something sharper, fueled by fear, silence and rage. Billie doesn't flinch anymore. She doesn't hesitate. She kills like she was made for it. Quinn thinks she can keep up. She tells herself love is enough, that love and friendship mean something here. But being in was never about survival-it was about surrender. Now her hands are bloodied, her choices narrowing. King doesn't need to hurt her to break her. He just has to leave her close enough to watch Billie disappear. And he's watching. Waiting. Knowing Quinn, too, will make her choice. Because breaking one girl is easy. But to break both? That's the real art. ••• #1 in hellbent 07.14.25
