Linger: A Dark New Adult Romance

By Jamie Veil

Amy Knightly's cruel new stepbrother, Isaak Kuznetsov, wants her out. His family's reputation is at stake when she begins attending elitist-college Redwood Academy, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the Billionaire Kuznetsov image from his ungrateful brat of a stepsister. But when his eyes begin to linger on Amy for longer than a stepbrother's should, he realises there's something far more threatening to his family name than Amy's untamable outbursts.

Can he resist his forbidden temptations for the girl he hates? Or will he risk the Kuznetsov reputation more than Amy ever could?

After entering a new world of wealth and malice, Amy is desperate to escape her new life. But after losing her scholarship, she has no choice but to live with her estranged mother and intimidating stepfamily. The only possibility she has of leaving the Kuznetsov household is by contacting her father, who mysteriously won't answer the phone. Waiting for an answer to her calls for help, Amy has to fight back against Isaak's cruelty while resisting her growing attraction to him.

Can she make it out before Isaak breaks her? Or will Amy cave in to her forbidden desires?
