Bitter Peaches

My past haunts me.

Becoming aware of secrets long hidden, I now have to face a harsh reality. Although all I want is to run from Penny’s past—my past— and find refuge in the sensual attention of the three men who surround me, the memories chase me like a demon after a soul.

Lucky for me, I’m no longer homeless, and I can pretend that I’m high on a cloud as I live it up in the gorgeous villa Shawn Van Doren rented for us. Santorini is heavenly, and you might think nothing can touch you. Not while you’re lavished by men like Shawn Van Doren, Alexi Lebedev, and Rhett Clark. But unbidden memories continue to rise, and I begin to realize that I’ll never be safe.

Someone from my old life, the life I was hypnotized to forget, is following me.

As we track down the man who seeks me, more secrets come to light, and damn if the future looks darker than ever. Which leads me to the stone-cold realization…

I must succumb to the darkness inside me and become the very thing I’ve feared to keep the bodies from hitting the ground.

The bodies of everyone I love.
And I promise myself one thing: I will never let that happen.
