The war may have ended, but the grudges and blood debts hadn't been paid yet. And as they investigate deeper and deeper into this strange web of lies, deception, corruption and blackmail, old secrets and skeletons long buried slowly rear their heads. History was always doomed to repeat itself, isn't that how it goes? (book #3 of 3 in the lady kuroki's school for girls trilogy, the second instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)

As a member of the Oakland State football team, he instantly gets put on Nessa's no-way list.

Madie might be completely entwined with her abusive boyfriend, but Bren quickly becomes determined to unravel her. But can Bren open Madie's eyes to the truth before it's too late? *** "Don't go back to being treated like you're not real." Madie's lips parted, and I couldn't read the expression on her face. But we were so close now. "You're real, Madie. Feel it." "I feel it," came her breathy reply. When it came to her, I was weak. My legs couldn't hold me anymore, and I slid down. Landing on my knees, I kneeled back against the bottom of the cold door, letting it cool my hot skin. "Good girl." The words were more of a pant; I could barely catch a breath with the way my heart was racing. But I had to tell her, talk to her. "Now, never forget it. Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie." **MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY** This story contains sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content.
