Pretend ~ wlw
What happens when the monster in the house is your new stepsister? Liv Brooklyn's life fractures the moment her mother says yes to a man she barely knows. Nineteen years of familiarity are erased for a stranger, a new city, and a house that never feels safe. The man is almost a stranger. His children are worse. Liv learns quickly that this isn't a fresh start-it's a quiet trap. Torrey Newton is the worst of it. Twenty years old. Cold-blooded. A sadist behind perfect composure. Torrey doesn't raise her voice, doesn't need to. She breaks people slowly, deliberately. She has everything-money, influence, fear-everything except the one thing that still owns her thoughts: the girl who walked away and left her hollow. Maddy Longing. Her name alone is poison. Beautiful in a way that ruins lives. The kind of woman people warn you about after it's too late. To some, she's the cruelest human alive. To others, the most devastating lover they've ever touched. She leaves marks no one can see and scars no one admits to. And somehow, she never really leaves. When Liv meets her, she doesn't recognize the danger-only the pull. Torrey does. Now Liv is living in Torrey's house, breathing her air, and reaching for what was never meant to be hers. Desire turns into rivalry. Rivalry turns into obsession. And Maddy-always at the center-keeps dragging them back into the same dark orbit. Bound by a family they didn't choose and a woman who ruins them both, Liv and Torrey spiral-hurting each other, wanting the same thing, and finding that no matter how far they run, they always circle back. Some loves don't save you. They destroy you slowly-and enjoy it.Complete
