Introduction

My suicide attempt should have been my rock bottom, a cry for help after surviving brutal sorority hazing.

Instead, when I woke up in the hospital, my mother, Debra, saw only weakness and an "embarrassing stain" on our family name.

She, with my uncles' eager help and my father' s silent complicity, dragged me home to what they called an "intervention"-a brutal "boot camp" in our garage that involved being tied in a stress position for hours without food or water.

Why couldn't they see my pain? Why did they insist on "fixing" me by breaking me even further?

But the true nightmare began when my little brother Ryan, trying to offer me a granola bar, got severely burned by boiling water, and my mother, in a fit of rage, blamed me, assaulting me until I blacked out.

Instead of seeking help, my family chose to kidnap me from my hospital bed, dumping my severely injured body in a freezing, isolated shed, leaving me for dead, ensuring I would never be a "quitter" again.

They thought they had buried their problem, but they were about to discover that some truths refuse to stay buried, and some mothers' love turns into a terrifying form of vengeance.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
