Roses for Rachel
Shelby V. Painter
What was worse though was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either.Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never knew existed, one that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have a life of a princess, but there were only two catches...1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side.2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.
