Synopsis
Synopsis
Most women can’t handle my filthy, bossy mouth under the sheets.
So when I agree to take in the woman who was rescued with my sister, I fight my demons.
Every moment I spend with Lena, the cravings for her grow.
I need to stop them.
She was declared and forced to marry a monster. The last thing she needs is another man telling her what to do.
And when my ex-girlfriend shows up and has to live with us to give Lena intensive therapy, she claims she wants me back.
All I want is Lena.
Yet Kate’s sneaky. And Lena insists Kate knows things she shouldn’t. Things that have to do with the Twisted Hearts.
I can’t wrap my mind around it.
But betrayal is sneaky.
Web of Betrayal-Prologue
Web of Betrayal-Prologue
Hudson Brooks
Betrayal cuts deep, slicing through what you believe to be true and the things you hold closest to your heart. It creates new realities, boundaries, and solutions for even the minutest details of your life.
And it’s sneaky. You don’t know it’s coming.
When it hits, it’s like an earthquake destroying everything in its path and ripping the core of your foundation.
You’ll question who you are and hate yourself when you never did before.
You’ll no longer enjoy what you used to get pleasure from and beat yourself up for allowing yourself to think you had a right to indulge in it.
You’ll live in a bubble of pain and take out your hurt on those you hold dearest to you without even realizing it.
Then when you think you have a hold on it and have moved on, it comes back to bite you again, only this time, you should have seen it coming.
But you don’t.
The new betrayal hides in a shiny package, bearing gifts of hope and new beginnings.
When it strikes again, it hits harder, creating a seismic wave a hundred times more potent, stretching further than the eye can see. The second time around, it attempts to destroy the light in your life you struggled to obtain because of all the issues you have from the first time it annihilated you.
Kate Contro is my betrayal.
Lena Woods is my light.
This time, I’ll need to crawl quickly through the grasp of betrayal.
The first time Kate struck, I took it personally. I assumed it was only about me. If I had paid attention, I would have seen all things connect.
On paper, she is a therapist, an expert in assisting gang defectors in re-entering society.
Off paper, she is a master of manipulation.
When I met her, Beckett was in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. A murder from the hands of Skates, the leader of the Twisted Hearts, the fastest-growing gang in the nation.
For three years, she was always interested in my family. I thought it was because she loved me.
I was wrong.
When I caught her cheating on me with a fisherman from Cortez, I didn’t want to know anything about the guy. She had cheated on me. I wasn’t enough for her. The last thing I wanted to do was see who she chose over me.
If I had stopped worrying about my hurt ego, I would have inquired more about him and learned how he was Skates’ right hand. I would have noticed him on the boat even though Ryland put a bullet in his head.
And when the name Max Crello came up, I would have connected him to Kate and never let her step foot in my house.
I slept with the enemy, but I never knew it. If I had done any of these things instead of just taking it personal, I would have. And now Lena, my light, is in the middle of the earthquake.
This time, make no mistake, I won’t bury my head in the sand. Kate, and every other Twisted Heart involved, will pay.
Betrayal goes both ways.
Gabriella’s family comes over when we are making breakfast. It’s strange because the men are all cooking, too.
I make the toast. Gabriella stays by my side after she introduces me to everyone.
Her family seems to be nice. The lady Chloe and the man Gabriella introduced as her fiancé, Javier, are FBI agents which still scares me. Twisted Hearts don’t like FBI agents, and they kill them. Chloe and Javier seem friendly, but I’m confused about why the First Lady appears to be happy they are with us.
Everyone leaves. Gabriella and I go upstairs to take showers. When I’m out, she rubs the cream the hospital gave me on my bruises. “Does it hurt?”
“A little. I’ll be okay. It doesn’t hurt as bad as other things.”
Gabriella points to the vanity seat. “Sit down, and I’ll comb your hair, Lena.”
I sit down.
“Are you doing okay?”
“I’m confused.”
Her eyes fill with sympathy. “I know. There are things I’m confused about, too. What are you thinking right now?”
“I don’t understand why you seem okay with FBI agents. The First Lady would never be okay with that.”
She finishes combing my hair. “Let’s go sit on the bed.”
We move to the bed and face each other.
“I know this is hard to understand, but I’m not the First Lady.”
“But you said Triker died.”
She blinks hard. “He did.”
“I trained you to be his First Lady.”
“You did.”
“Then you are now in charge.”
She shakes her head. “No, Lena. The Twisted Hearts kidnapped us. Javier and Chloe rescued us.”
