Tiller
Shey Stahl - 2018

That guy, he's nowhere to be found inside the devil known as Tiller Sawyer. Truth is, I didn't know who he really was... the crazy, sadistic, angry, introvert who uses drugs and alcohol to mask his own demons. Everyone warned me about Tiller. They told me he was cold and ruthless and screwed up. They told me he'd destroy me if I went to him for help. Alone and desperate, I was left with no other choice. Maybe I should have listened, but I didn't. Now I'm in too deep, and he doesn't know how to stop. And the only thing I'm certain of is I'll never be enough for someone like Tiller. It wasn't enough he took my heart when we were five. Now, he wants to destroy me completely.

Taking Connor
B.N. Toler - 2015
Connor Stevens fit that bill. His reputation preceded him. With a hard body and vivid tattoos dispersed across his flesh, he certainly drew the judgmental eyes of conservative tight-asses. Even I had those same thoughts…regardless of how highly Blake spoke of him. But those opinions were about to be challenged. I’d promised to pick Connor up from prison—where he’d served eight years for manslaughter. When Blake passed away, I had every intention of honoring our agreement. Taking Connor home would be my ultimate show of gratitude. Blake never disclosed why Connor killed a man, and I never had the guts to ask. Ever daunted, and against my better judgment, I soon grew to feel close to Connor, in spite of how perverse it was. Still, I vowed to brush off those feelings at all costs. At least I thought I would. Until all hell broke loose… Diving head-first, I relished in the time spent in Connor’s damnation. But when he was thrust into hell, it didn’t matter how wrong it was to love him. It was immaterial what he’d done…or why. I came out swinging and clawing, and submerged into the inferno with him, refusing to leave until we both walked out hand in hand. My instinct was to fight. Connor wouldn’t burn alone. I would save him. Or turn to ash right beside him.
