Story: đź“–đź“–đź“–đź“–
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Now, if you’re looking for a enemies to lovers, reverse harem, bully romance with touch her and die vibes give this one a shot. Will it make you question WTF is wrong with you? Absolutely. But, we like the bad boys for a reason though right…?

You’ve got our three MMCs in this here reverse harem: Dimitri aka Rath your musically gifted moody emo rollercoaster, Tristian our manipulative f-boy who has a way with the ladies who also probably has orthorexia nervosa(I’ll let you look that one up), and Killian aka Killer our heavily tattooed bad boy jock. They are spoiled, rude, pompous, and filthy rich. Oh and they are assholes. Assholes who spearhead the Lambda Delta Zeta fraternity aka The Lords. 

Our leading lady is Story. Running away from her past, she seeks safety in the arms of the boys who wreaked havoc on her life as a teenager. All from her online stalker, Ted. Why his name is TED of all things I don’t know. But I digress. 

Now the major fraternity’s of Forsyth U: The Princes, The Dukes, The Counts and the Lords hold interviews for their “house girl”. In this case Story is vying for the highly coveted position as the Lady of the Lords. Now this position comes with quite a few perks, some disadvantages, and quite a few rules.

But when you’re running from your stalker into the arms of your childhood bullies for protection. Whew. Stick with the evil you know I guess.

This bully romance is spicy. It’s sexy. It’s dirty. Just the right amount of a little bit of everything to make the toes curl. 

It’s a delicious dark read. 

You’ll get the tingles, you’ll giggle, you’ll WTF. In the end it will all be worth it.

This can be a little trigger heavy but I’ll leave that for you to read when you grab the book.
