Recommendation
First, if you aren’t a fan of dark, twisted, non-consensual stories, stop right now. Natasha weaves some of the most disturbing webs you will ever find yourself caught in and Jericho and Isabelle’s dysfunctional tale is as harsh as they come. Revenge leads people to do crazy things and Jericho finds himself wanting to make Carlton pay but it’s unfortunately at the expense of an innocent woman. You’ll hate Jericho. Like, despise him. But Isabelle is no fool and in her fight you’ll begin to see the light break through the darkness that surrounds him. I can already tell this series is going to be so 🔥🔥🔥!
Excerpts
She sucks in a breath at my touch. That sound, the tremble of her body when I bring my nose to her pulse and take a deep breath in, makes my dick hard. My own breath is short and she’s not even naked yet. I swallow, catalog her scent. Springtime and innocence camouflaging acrid fear. Barely.
“I’m tempted to bend you over the bed and fuck you now, but it’ll have to wait. Do try to keep your hands out of your pants until I’m back.”
My dress must be soaked. Everyone will see. Will know. But right now, I don’t care. All I can feel is him, his fingers touching me, on me, inside me, rubbing me and when I can’t take anymore, I lean my head into the crook of his neck and I’m panting, breathing in the scent of him.
Publisher synopsis
Isabelle
Jericho St. James hates my family.
Powerful, wealthy beyond belief, he's the most dangerous man I know.
And I belong to him.
He’s taken me from my home.
He'll make me his wife.
And he’s made it very clear I’ll be sleeping in his bed.
But my beast has a secret.
His one weakness. One that makes hating him impossible.
He has a daughter.
And he’ll do anything to keep her safe.
Jericho
The Bishops stole what money cannot replace.
A life for a life. Now I’ll take one of theirs.
Isabelle is my pawn.
I will make her my wife.
I will bed her.
She will be mine in every way.
And once I take what I need from her, I will erase the Bishop family as if they never existed at all.
