Part One

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Living in the midst of the Great Depression, Nellie Bryce is well aware money talks. When her mother remarries a successful businessman for a brighter future, Emery Callahan enters Nellie’s life like a tornado. Her new stepbrother is vulgar and sadistic, yet utterly irresistible. Everything Nellie thought she knew about love and intimacy gets completely derailed as she’s seduced into acts she’d never thought she’d do, much less derive pleasure from.

Can such unconventional games truly be the foundation of everlasting love? Or when Nellie discovers a terrible secret, will she learn that everything she wanted to believe in was a lie?
