Cruel Intentions - A Dark Stepbrother Romance
A spark is harmless until it starts an inferno.
Her mother is a homewrecker; I have no doubt that she is, too.

The blood in her veins is made of mud, and I will purify it.
Kaye Pennington is the daughter of the woman that ruined my life, now I will ruin hers.
It’s not fair; nothing in life ever is.
When her innocence has been plucked like a flower…
When she’s been made to pay for her sins…
When she stands before me a broken reed…
Her mother’s debt will be repaid.
Until then… she’s mine.
And I do whatever I want with my property.
