Hard Truths


Rebecca Royce - 2018
     I had plans, big plans. I had my pretty little life outlined: Graduate school and get a job in social work—maybe even one day marry a nice man who actually knew what he was doing in bed. But everything changed when I woke up in a strange place with five men who insisted I call them D, W, J, K, and T. The Letters. They told me that the world wasn’t what it seemed. I lived my life thinking that I was in control of my own destiny, but in actuality they controlled everything. The world was their playground and I was just another ant, marching in line to the beat of their drum. The Letters kidnapped me to force my father’s hand, and they couldn’t promise me safe passage. I knew my place in all of this but still found myself losing who I was to their games. I’m Everly Marrs, and I’ll save myself if I have to.

Sounds of Silence

I don’t blame anyone for what I feel. I’m content with going on with life like a zombie, wondering what the big deal about it all is. Living. Seems kind of overrated, doesn’t it? But then I meet Mason and Calum—and the strangest part is, I think they like me. As in, really like me. And what’s even weirder is that I think I like them. It doesn’t matter, though. Soon enough they’ll get tired of me and they’ll leave. That’s what life is about, right? Disappointment. Mason and Calum seem intent to try to prove me wrong. I suppose I could let them, if I don’t push them away, first. *Sounds of Silence is a standalone ménage romance, and deals with some heavy topics like depression.*
