Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Intense Taboo, Romantic Themes, Family Secrets,
Burnville was a corpse on the coast, stinking of salt, fish-guts, and rot.
Ten years in prison and Wayne Thorne stepped into another cage-faces all slack-jawed, eyes too close, cousins breeding cousins till the whole town looked born from the same busted womb.
No TV, no phones, just rotting nets, sinking boats, druglords stacking bricks of poison in freezers that smelled like slaughter. Over it all, the cult's leader kept girls locked in cellars, fattened for trade, while the gold-toothed boss came grinning to claim them.
That's where Wayne saw them. Burnville women that have been marked. The mongrels wanted to breed them hollow, the cult wanted their blood, the druglords already had them in his teeth-but they looked at Wayne like he might be the monster to tear them out.

Hate was supposed to protect me. But it never did.
The night August Hayes shattered my brother's skull, he shattered something in me, too.
One year later, I'm not the girl I used to be. The girl who was naive enough to ever want him.
Now, he's back on campus, clinging to his last chance. Mandatory therapy, or he doesn't graduate.
And I'm the unlucky intern assigned to his case.
He's violent. Dangerous. A walking reminder of all the damage done to my family.
I'm supposed to help him manage his anger.
But instead, I keep wanting to see what happens when he loses control.
They say healing is supposed to be messy.
But they never said it could feel like this.
Hate was supposed to be easy. But it never is.
Some scars you can't see. And there are some scars that you just can't stop touching.
