 Breaking Grace by Rose Devereux! 

Check it out and grab your copy today!

GoodReads ~ Amazon        


Book Description:

Two years ago, I murdered the love of Grace Garrett’s life. I had it all – a thriving company, money, women at my beck and call. Then I shot and killed James Winthrop. And got away with it. His beautiful fiancé is ruined, so damaged she’s destroying herself.  And I’m the reason why. Nothing and nobody can save her. Except me. Only I know how to help her start again. By wiping the slate clean. Breaking her down until she’s brand new. And rewarding her obedience with the one thing she truly needs. Vengeance against me.


Excerpt:



“Everybody has a price,” I say. “And I’m not talking about money.”

There’s that cynical look again, like she’s done and heard it all. “What more could you offer me than that?” 

It’s like a fucking revelation when I think of it. A crazy spark that goes off in my brain. It’s as if I’ve been waiting for it all along, and didn’t even know it. 

I hold her chin so she can’t look away. “An eye for an eye, right, Grace?”

“So?”

“So. I’ve got a roomful of weapons downstairs.”

Face draining, her lips part. “What? Do you mean…”

“Yes. If you stay, and money isn’t enough, then you decide what to use and how to use it.”

Her eyes are huge and green-black. “That’s…insane.”

“But it’s fair, isn’t it? It’s justice?” 

“Why – why would you do that?”

It takes me a long time to answer. “Because this has to end. And if that’s how it ends, then so fucking be it.”

A tiny shudder ripples through her shoulders. “Wouldn’t that make me a killer, too?”

“Not if I do it myself.”

She gasps. Pulling back, she gives her a head a hard, determined shake. It’s one thing to dream of revenge. But this is too close, too fucked-up, too real. 

“I can’t,” she says. “Never.”

I stifle the urge to fight her. To try to convince this weak-strong, sweet-evil girl to take the deal of a lifetime. Hand-to-hand combat won’t work. Not with her.

“I had your dress cleaned today, and your lingerie washed,” I say.

This bit of information seems to startle her. “Oh. Okay.”

“You can keep the slippers Coral gave you.”

“Thanks.” Her voice is small and docile. “And I’ll um, ice my ankle.” 

“Good.” I stand and go to the door. “There’s a paper and a pen in your nightstand. Tonight, make your decision to stay or go. Write yes or no and put it under the door.”

She blinks at me. She’s never looked more innocent. “Under the door?” 

“I’ll see it in the morning. If you write no, you’ll get dressed and I’ll drive you to your parents’ house. We’ll never see or speak to each other again.”

“And if…I write yes?” she asks.

I switch off the light, plunging us both into darkness. “If you write yes, then you’re mine.”

Book Description:

Two years ago, I murdered the love of Grace Garrett’s life. I had it all – a thriving company, money, women at my beck and call. Then I shot and killed James Winthrop. And got away with it. His beautiful fiancé is ruined, so damaged she’s destroying herself.  And I’m the reason why. Nothing and nobody can save her. Except me. Only I know how to help her start again. By wiping the slate clean. Breaking her down until she’s brand new. And rewarding her obedience with the one thing she truly needs. Vengeance against me.

Exclusive Excerpt:

She walks into the courtroom and everyone stops breathing. Except for me.  I breathe harder. Blood surges through my body like a dam just broke, flooding every distant vein.  I flex my fists.  The instinct to fuck on sight is so strong I can barely stay in my chair. It isn’t because she’s beautiful, though she is.  Or dressed to kill, ditto.  She’s wearing a cream silk blouse tucked into a skinny, ass-skimming skirt and high-heeled sandals that tie like a little suede rope around her ankles.  If they’re supposed to make me think of all the things I could do to her, mission accomplished. Chin high, she strides past the first row of seats.  Heads swivel.  The chatter stops. Here she comes, the lovely grieving widow.  Not exactly widow.  Fiancé.  And she’s practically a child, only twenty-three. When Dolly Parton wrote Jolene, she was imagining a girl like Grace Garrett.  With flaming locks of auburn hair, with ivory skin, and eyes of emerald green.  The lyrics are like Grace’s own personal Missing poster.  Along with a list of the things I jerk off to every night.     There are a few descriptives Dolly didn’t think of, like a click-bait body and a stern, craggy-faced minister for a father.  This chick was born for social media.  The press loves her.  She’s got a good-girl pedigree, and she looks amazing no matter what she’s doing.  Sitting, walking, crying, or wishing me stone-cold dead. That’s the part everyone is here to see.  The silent explosion when our eyes meet.  The epic, David and Goliath battle between her and me.  Evil on one side, good on the other. That’s what makes me hard.  What can I say?  I’ve always liked contrast. Grace doesn’t care if I’m taller, richer, stronger, smarter, and better-looking than anyone she’s ever met.  She knows the world loves an underdog, and she’s going to take me down.  She’s here to show everyone what a bastard I am. As if they don’t already know. My proclivities have been the stuff of gossip for years.  I run with a crowd so wealthy and twisted, there are no limits. When the jury looks at me, they think they know me.  They put rumor and wishful thinking together, and create the perfect monster.  And they love it.  Something makes a brutal sort of sense in their world, and that something is me. If only they knew what Grace knows, and I know.  They’d discover that they’ve got the story backwards. I’m not the villain in this tragic drama. She is.
