Illicit Love

There is a thin line between love and hate. But how about between love and loathe? Because that's where I was. I loved my father, but I loathed him at the same time. My father lied. My father betrayed me. The life I knew was ripped from under my feet, and I was given a six-foot-seven bodyguard named Titus. Five steps behind. Always. Until he wasn't. Titus King swore to protect me at all costs. Even in death, he promised to protect me because that was his job. But falling in love with me? That wasn't part of his job description. I was his twilight. He was my forever. But we weren't promised our happily ever after. My father had already agreed to my hand in marriage to a ruthless crime lord in exchange for my family's life. My new life was forced upon me, but I will not back down. I will not become a trophy wife. I will not stop fighting for the life I so desperately want. And that life is Titus King. The Loathing is book two in the Illicit Love series. It's an age gap, forbidden love story following a broken hero and a strong and fierce female. Intended for mature listeners.

Betrayal is best served hot with a side of your dad's best friend. I had everything. A bright future, a dad who loved me, and his three best friends who would do anything for me. One more than the others. Then I lost it all. Everyone who loved me left me. Med student turned stripper. Betrayed by the ones I loved the most. All it took was one evening, one moment, and my life was spun on its axis. My dad's best friend found out my darkest secret, but instead of running to my dad, he protected me. Promising that he wouldn't leave my side. A forbidden affair burned like a match to gasoline. Until it didn't. The secrets eventually spilled, and truths finally seeped out of us whether we wanted them to or not. Everything I had spent months building came crumbling down around me. Betrayal lashed against my skin, and no matter how much I tried to protect myself, I couldn't.
