The Conduit: Illisian Chronicles, Book 1
41 parts Ongoing MatureBranded don't make eye contact with their betters. Branded don't talk back. Branded do as they are told. For as long as she can remember, Cassandra's life has revolved around these three harshly enforced rules. She's always done her best to listen when Meyers, her owner, commands her and to accept punishment when it comes. But lately, things seem to be changing. Meyers' obsession with her is growing by the day, and foggy, long-forgotten memories are swirling at the edge of her consciousness. Now, three soldiers have come into town. After a particularly brutal run-in with Meyers, Cassie finds herself riding away from the only home she can remember in the custody of those very men. Xander, Liam, and Quinn seem bound and determined to get her to forget all the hard-learned rules of her upbringing. Can she bring herself to trust them? Does she dare?
This is a slow burn, why-choose romance with one woman and three very caring men. Cassie's journey is not going to be an easy one. Please pay attention to the trigger warnings given at the beginning of the book. Don't worry. She will get her HEA; it just may take a bit to get there.
