At the death of her grandfather, seventeen-year-old Alice Lansel, an orphan, is faced with a new and jarring reality-flee with her little brother and sister away from their sleazy landlord, all while staying away from the lower cities-something dark and dangerous apparently awaits them there as well.
Her decision is made in accordance with her Grandfather's last, dying wish...but the Great Expanse is an unforgiving wilderness, and never has she felt so helpless and alone.
Until the unexpected happens.
And they're rescued by someone who takes them back to his picturesque woodland refuge to stay temporarily.
It's an answer to prayer, but their surly savior seems to think otherwise-consumed as he is by the haunting memories of his past.

Beside
''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
