Once Hurt, Twice Scorned

Alois Trancy has almost always been alone, forced to confront his own inner demons and battle the recurring nightmares of his past. He's bipolar, has trust issues, he's apathetic, and devious, just as an Earl of the Trancy manor should be. Loss, betrayal, rape, abuse, was there anything that he hadn't been subjected to? The blonde is convinced that life dealt him a rigged hand of cards, so he's prepared to throw a few curveballs right back at it, but he's on the brink of insanity only making his schemes even more dangerous. Will anyone ever be able to mend his shattered heart and pull him out of the abyss of madness?
