<b>The complete Ugly Roses Trilogy available now</b> <br /><br /><i>"Harlow Stone is a bit of an emotional terrorist. She lures you in, lays the foundation for where you think things will go and BAM! Never saw it coming!"</i><br /><br />Ryder has done his best to break my armor. It's been a slow process but he has reminded me what it's like to feel again. I could never thank him enough for the toe curling and life altering experiences. He's been my light in a hurricane, but even I know the sun can't shine all the time. I have a big decision to make and it's not as simple as just going left or right, forward or backward.<br /><br />I've heard people say that when we hit a crossroad in life, the only difference is that one way is longer than the other (believe me when I say that these people are full of shit,don't listen to them). I've hit every fucking intersection from Canada to the USofA, and no matter what direction I take, the distance is always the same. The reason for this is because it's not about the distance, it's about the outcome of the journey.<br /><br />This journey of mine only leaves me two choices and neither satisfy me. Do I continue on my path towards retribution for my family? Or do I focus on the first man to crack my ice-cold heart? He's the only man who has ever made me feel safe at night; the first to truly accept all of me- scars included.<br /><br />I'm at a crossroad, and no matter which way I turn, I'm fucked.<br /><br />Ryder or retribution?<br /><br />This life of mine isn't a fairytale, I know I can't have both.<br /><br /><br /><b>Reading Order: All books available</b><br />First book: Frayed Rope<br />Second book: Concealed Affliction<br />Final book: Blinded by Fate<br /><br />Recommended +18 Due to mature content, foul language, nudity, sex, andall other things steamy.
