    Not anymore. Secrets, love, friendship, betrayal, AND more hidden truths no one would've expected. Three books. One suspensefully twisted (LOVE) story. My name is Lilly McGuire.It’s been over two years, and I still have no clue why he stopped talking to me. He. My best friend. Everything was great. Then, he left for football camp. When he came back, he pretended I didn’t exist, leaving a room every time I’d enter. Eventually, he stopped coming home altogether. I moved on. Or so I thought. Then, a journalism assignment makes me stumble across a ten-year-old case of missing girls. With every new article I find, I get pulled deeper into a world that makes me question everything I had believed to be the truth. Then, they start: the migraines. Just when I accept that I must be losing my mind, something unexpected happens. I have to make a choice that will determine not only my entire future but also his. My name is Rhys McGuire.My life is based on secrets, and two years ago, I was forced to make a choice. I stayed away, but I’ve kept watching. Now, fate has thrown me a bone. The decision is mine again. Stay quiet or come clean? Continue the charade, or tell her everything that’s been tearing me apart since I was seven years old? The choice is mine, but do I really have one? If she finds out, I could lose her forever. The ones she has trusted most are the ones that have betrayed her—maybe even beyond repair. I want to believe that she would forgive me, but could she move past all of the lies? **AUTHOR’S NOTETrust Lilly and Rhys.

    But still, normal for her. Then, things happen—a guy breaks into her house in the middle of the night to take her hostage.

    She agreed to be mine. I won't let her change the rules of the game. Violence has always been part of my life. I was angry as a child, underchallenged and neglected, with no outlet for my dangerous rage. Years have passed, and I’m no longer a victim of my own aggression. I’m in control now. A control that many seek to surrender. Just like her. My Pet. The beautiful blonde who agreed to submit to my will. She agreed to be kidnapped and locked away until our contract is over. She’s here to play a role. But her defiance seems too real, her terror too honest. Watching her struggle is bone-chilling. She’s getting to me like no one ever has before, seizing a heart that cannot love. Or so I thought... **VIOLENT DELIGHTS is a Dark Romance with themes of kidnapping, captivity & steamy BDSM scenes. Intended for audiences 18+ & not for the faint-hearted. Contains situations some readers might find objectionable. NO cheating, NO cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. **
