Claiming Destiny: Book 2 of The Skylar Benson Series


C. Kuiper - 2019
     At least that's what I think the pamphlet should say for my brand new school. Well, my second brand new school. But I guess if I were to get technical, it's still the same one, just a different scenery when I look out my window. Logan told me I would be safe here, away from topside. The only problem is, I don't feel safe, not anywhere. I'm not sure if I ever will again. Not after Drake. But I will press forward and try to forget my past, or at least that's what I'm hoping for. And to possibly make a friend or two along the way. Warning: This book is intended for ages 18+ It contains several violent scenes and many sensitive subjects as well as trigger words. Please read at your own discretion. This is a slow burn, reverse harem. So, don't expect to get the nitty gritty quite yet. I saved that for the third book.
