Retribution

After years of neglect, I was determined to keep my head down, finish my senior year, and above all, never share the tarnished pieces of my fractured heart with anyone.

But things never quite go according to plan, do they?

Especially not when four hot guys bulldoze their way into my fragile life, breaking down the steel barrier I protect myself with, and bathing me in a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love that I never thought possible.

Maddox, my childhood sweetheart.
Weston, my tutor turned lover.
Jagger, the bad boy of my darkest dreams.
Jameson, my former bully with a secret heart of gold.

I was happy, content, and cherished for the first time in a long time.
But if I’ve learned anything from the years of pain and torture, it’s that love does nothing but cause you pain, and happiness always comes at a price.

With the monster from my past back and stepping out of the shadows with promises of bloodshed,
I’m reminded of the promises I made to myself :

To no longer be afraid.
To fight. To survive.
To never surrender, not until I have what I want most…
Retribution.
