Twisted Love

In this dangerously sexy novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Find You in the Dark, a straight-laced college student meets a handsome but enigmatic stranger who lures her into an underground club scene, where she finds it difficult to resist temptation… Aubrey Duncan understands loss. She knows what rock bottom looks like, and she is determined to crawl back up to the top after the sudden death of her younger sister. She blames herself for her part in the tragedy, convinced that she could have done something, anything, to help her. In her effort to gain redemption, Aubrey starts fresh at Longwood University and facilitates an addiction support group, hoping she can support someone else in the way she failed her sister. But what she doesn’t count on is an all-consuming fascination with group member Maxx Demelo, a gorgeous, blond, blue-eyed enigma who hides dark secrets behind a carefully constructed mask. He only reveals what he wants others to see. But Aubrey glimpses another Maxx hidden below the surface—a Maxx who is drowning in his own personal hell. As Aubrey and Maxx develop an attraction too intense to ignore, he pulls her into the dark underbelly of the city club scene, where she is torn by her desire to save him and an inexplicable urge to join him in his downward spiral. Worst of all, she is beginning to love everything she should run away from—a man who threatens to ignite in her a fire that could burn her alive…

The sequel to Lead Me Not, this dangerously sexy second installment in the Twisted Love series continues Aubrey and Maxx's love story, from New York Times bestselling author A. Meredith Walters. Aubrey Duncan has loved…and lost. Should she follow a heart that's betrayed her or a head that tells her to let go? Maxx Demelo's addiction almost destroyed him. It ruined his life and, most importantly, his relationship with the only girl he ever loved. He has vowed to become the man Aubrey Duncan deserves. Even if he has to tear himself apart to do it. So he enters rehab, trying to fix the parts of him that are shattered as he longs to be healthy and whole. Aubrey lost everything because she chose to listen to her heart. Now she has sworn to put herself first, to heal in the only way that she can…far away from Maxx and his demons. But just as Aubrey is starting over, Maxx is released from rehab and thrust back into her world, determined to prove how much they still need each other. And the chaos that had defined them threatens to unleash once again… But a heart, no matter how broken, is impossible to ignore.

A broken, twisted girl, her fairytale in ashes. Three players in the game, their pawn in a gilded cage. I didn't know why they had brought me back or what they wanted from me. They should have let me die in that room of pain and shame, but instead they've hidden me away, kept me under the attentive eyes of dangerous men unaccustomed to the likes of me in their midst. I was sure my useless bodyguard and father-in-law never expected me to become attached to the ambitious, damaged, and unhinged men they stashed me with, but I was no longer concerned with what they thought of me. Free of the monster I'd married, I planned to live my life on my terms… until it was made clear I was expected to honor my obligations or face the consequences. No matter which way I chose, my life wasn't my own. I wasn't sure it ever had been, or if it ever would be. The Redemption of Shelby Ann is the second installment in the Twisted Love series, a dark, contemporary reverse harem. This series will have an eventual HEA, but it's going to take some patience to get there. Mature audiences only - dark content. Performed in DUET style narration.
