Sinners of Blackthorne U

Hate feels a lot like love when it cuts this deep. Roman Pain is the only thing that makes me feel alive anymore. On the ice, in the gym, or from someone else's fists-it doesn't matter, as long as it drowns out the void inside me. Caleb was my first love, my best-kept secret, and the reason my world fell apart. I thought the guilt would destroy me, but then his brother, Damon, walked back into my life. Damon is all sharp edges and raw anger, and I should stay the hell away from him. But his rage cuts in a way that feels too much like salvation. I hate how much I need it. Damon Roman Bishop was the golden boy who could do no wrong in my little brother's eyes. But I see the truth-he's the one who broke Caleb, who drove him to a choice he never should've made. Now, Roman's the one who needs breaking. I came back to Blackthorne to make him pay, to ruin him the way he ruined my brother. But every time I push, he leans in, like he's begging for more. Roman thrives on pain, and somewhere in the middle of our twisted game, I've started to crave him in ways I can't wrap my head around. Revenge isn't as simple as I thought it would be. Pretty When He Bleeds is the first book in the interconnected Sinners of Blackthorne U series, but it is a complete standalone. Contains mature content.

Luca I've built my life on control. On the field, in my reputation, and in keeping my demons buried where no one can see. Sage Blackwell was never supposed to be a part of that. The nerdy prodigy overheard something that could ruin my entire career, so I did the only logical thing. I don't threaten him. I don't scare him off. I claim him. I tell myself it's about survival, about keeping my secret safe. But the longer I keep him close, the more I realise I might be addicted again. Only this time, my drug of choice is him. Sage I wasn't supposed to hear it. I definitely wasn't supposed to get caught. One wrong step. One overheard conversation. That's all it takes to make me the unwilling keeper of Luca Devereaux's darkest secret. Now, Blackthorne U's arrogant, untouchable quarterback has decided I belong to him. He's relentless, possessive and cruel in the way only someone with too much power and too few consequences can be. Being owned by Luca might just destroy me… especially when I realise I don't want him to let go. Bitter When He Begs is the second book in the interconnected Sinners of Blackthorne U series, but it is a complete standalone. Contains mature content.
