Brutal Secret

By Laurelin Paige

It was supposed to be one night. Now he's obsessed.

When my one-night-stand turns into an all-time-fail, I vow not to tell anyone about the much older hottie who walked out on me mid-deed. (On my twenty-first birthday, no less.)

Too bad I bump into my almost lover at my mother's wedding a few months later.

That's when I discover he's none other than Reid Sebastian-my new step cousin and the billionaire son of my step-dad's rival. Which means he's my rival, too, obviously.

While I thought he was cruel before, he's become obsessed with torturing me. And because we're family, he's always around.

Now we're playing a brutal game that neither of us can possibly win.

But I have a secret-the more we play the more I want him. Even if it means we both lose everything.

Brutal Secret is a complete standalone forbidden, age-gap, forced proximity romance set in an intriguing world of billionaires, power, and scandal. While it is recommended to read Brutal Billionaire first for best reading experience, it isn't necessary to thoroughly enjoy the story.
