Dark Desires, Darker Payback

1

New Year's Eve. Brandon, my boyfriend of three years, invited me home to meet his parents.

At dinner, he drugged my wine.

"Skylar, the gangsters...they'll chop my hands off if I don't pay up. I had no way out! I had to give you to him."

"Don't blame me. Blame your luck. You look just like his crush."

"It's win-win. I pay my debts, you get a wealthy life."

Drugged and dazed, I was delivered by his family to gates I knew too well. The home of my uncle, Victor Thorne.

Victor had always doted on Mom and me.
