Some scars fade. Others just learn how to hide. Grace is finally learning what it means to be safe. She has Ash - fierce, unshakable Ash - and a place in the world that no one can take from her. The bakery, the relationship, the club. A life. A family. But peace was never going to last forever. With the club's president - her biological father - potentially being released from prison, the future Grace has only just begun to build starts to feel uncertain again. He's not the man she imagined growing up. And in a world where loyalty means everything, blood might not be enough. When an old threat returns and blood is spilled, Grace is left reeling, haunted by a moment that changed everything. She's survived pain, abandonment, and fear. But this? This might break her. As loyalty is tested and lines are drawn, Grace must decide who she wants to be - and how far she's willing to go to protect the people she loves. Because someone called the devil back to town. And Grace is done being anyone's prey. SEQUEL TO THE STRAY!!!

"This is what happens when you try to take away what is ours," he whispered into my ear, causing me to shiver. "We'll strip you down, tie you up, and never let you go. You're our perfect little slave, aren't you?" ~ One gift. One threat. One stalker. And she lost everything. Emma had everything she could've wanted; A membership at the most exclusive BDSM club in the city, the sweetest best friend she could've ever asked for, and three devilishly handsome men with a talent for making all her desires come true-until he arrived. Hidden in the dark, in crowds, behind gifts and screens, he follows her, tracks her, watch her. Wanting her. Emma knew danger was stalking her, trying to take her away from everyone, but most of all from them. The first gift came with a warning, how many would she get before the warning became a threat? And a threat became a promise? Could she ignore the warning, or did she have to give away what her heart treasured the most? Or were the men she needed to run from the ones she should be running towards? ~ "You look perfect like this. All naked. All bound. All ours," one of them growled; the finality of his statement felt like a branding on my bare skin. I wanted the branding to sting, to burn-to forever keep me at my masters' side, like an invisible mark linking my life with their life. My soul with their soul. But I knew, nothing would ever be final as long as he was still there, lurking. Waiting. Wanting. This book contains steamy, erotic scenes, age-gap romance with multiple men, and filthy language. Two chapters will be posted 31. December at 12 PM (GMT), then one chapter every other day.
