Ares Drakos
Avoiding the one person I couldn’t stand was supposed to be easy. I had every trip home planned to ensure I never saw her.
But then my mother and brother insisted I come home for quality family time. I knew better, but found myself unable to stay away any longer.
With us under one roof, avoiding her was impossible. Definitely not when her room was next to mine. Then she asked—begged—for my help, and I knew I could get my revenge.
Kyra Storey
I’ve dedicated the past two years to establishing my reputation. College was my way of demonstrating my independence and self-reliance, apart from my family’s connections.
But when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises—an exclusive event hosted by a secret society on campus—everything changes. The only way I can pull it off? Asking for help from someone I haven’t spoken to in nearly four years.
Ares wasn’t always the villain in my story. Before he became my stepbrother, he’d been my friend and protector. He was never meant to be the monster that crept in the shadows, not when he’d once been the one to fight them off.
His darkness only came out around me. Now that I need his help, it will surround me.
It wasn’t a problem.
Not until I craved it.
Renee’s Four Star Review
This is the story of Kyra and Ares. She is in college studying history and really wants a summer internship that will help her greatly. She is a girl that loves school and her sorority and is planning to do something special that hasn’t been done in a long time. She could really use some help but the only one she can ask is Ares and they haven’t spoken in a long time. Ares is a busy guy. He runs his family business and travels all the time. He also runs an auction house that deals in things from history. He doesn’t really want to go with his family to the beach house because he doesn’t want to be around his stepsister. But a bad storm is about to change it all. This is a forbidden, secret society, age gap romance. It is a short read but you don’t feel like you have read a short story. You can really connect with the characters and what they are going through. I loved every second of reading this book.
