Pretty Lies (For Young Adults)

My father is downright unbearable. It's as simple as that. He's clearly communicated that I can only depend on myself. However, everything changed when I met Caden, Tyler, Jensen, and Lukas. My new stepbrother and his closest friends quickly became my entire world—until they weren’t anymore. They mistakenly believe they can shatter my spirit, but they’re gravely mistaken. What they didn’t count on is that I have someone else by my side, someone willing to share my bed. These affluent boys are about to face a reality they've never anticipated. Their polished deceptions pale in comparison to what’s on the horizon, and I will need them to keep me grounded when I inevitably reach my breaking point.

Those who merit a reckoning are about to face their fate, and I’m unbothered by the potential consequences to myself. Oh, did I mention that I have the local street crew backing me up? Trust me, no one will see me coming. My name is Rory Donovan, and I'm ready to unleash chaos.

*Pretty Lies is a dark romance reverse harem novel with a word count of 75,000. This book marks the beginning of the series and should be read sequentially. The initial four installments focus on Rory’s journey as her harem evolves, progressively introducing new male characters into the narrative. Please be advised that the story includes themes of abuse and rape, as well as elements of male/male relationships. If such themes pose a trigger for you, this series may not be suitable.

As I navigate the treacherous waters of my connection with these boys, I can feel the turmoil within me swirling. Each one of them brings something unique to the table—charisma, charm, and an unspoken understanding of the darkness that lies beneath our facades. They think they know me, but there’s so much more beneath the surface. I’m not just a girl who has suffered; I am a force to be reckoned with. The pain and dysfunction that my father instilled in me have forged a resilience that they’ve yet to comprehend.

Yet sometimes, I catch glimpses of a softer side in them. After all, they are not just privileged boys indulging in their wealth; they are also deeply flawed individuals, each carrying their own burdens. And while they attempt to manipulate and control their world, I am determined to redirect their focus back to me. They'll soon discover that I am not just a pawn in their game; I will become the queen who challenges their every move.

With the street crew rallying behind me, my plans are more ambitious than revenge; they involve awakening a reckoning that will change everything. As I embrace my darker instincts, I’ll use the talents these boys bring into my life, weaving them into a tapestry of power, love, and retribution. Fighting alongside them might be risky, but the thrill of it all is intoxicating. Each moment spent with them ripens our connection, blurring the lines of what is and what could be.

And so, as I stand on the precipice of chaos, I prepare to make my mark. With my heart steeled and my allies at my side, I’ll transform from the vulnerable girl into a formidable force, ready to paint the walls red with all those who cross me.
