Thorne Haven is a gothic town founded by two families.
Secrets have hidden themselves within the walls of Thorne manor and Haven castle. But as time passed and the ancestors were forgotten, the six boys—three Thorne brothers and three Haven siblings found their love of the darkness. Whether it ran through their veins, or if they were just called to it.
They had become addicted to the exhilaration that came with the forbidden.
And so, the game was born.
The Burning Roses.
Venture into the darkness with the men of Thorne Haven.
Please note: This is a short story which introduces you to the characters of Thorne Haven.
"I don’t know how I’ll say goodbye to him, but I know he’ll be the one cut that’s too deep to heal from."
That’s exactly what I felt for Damien Thorne, even though I knew I shouldn’t.
I was broken under the polished veneer my mother created. But he saw me. He looked right into my eyes and picked out all those shattered pieces.
I have nowhere else to go.
And as much as I want to deny it, Damien gives me the one thing I need, the one thing I’d been searching for—solace.
Three Thornes.
One Rose.
And a town filled with secrets.
Handsome. Confident. Wealthy.
These are the men of Thorne Haven.
And I’m their new stepsister.
“I lied and ran. But I’m back in Thorne Haven, and all I want is his forgiveness. I know it will be a high so sweet, I’ll never come down.”
I’m a liar. I’m a bad person.
And I know that no matter how many times I apologize, Cassian will never forgive me.
We were best friends once, and then my darkness swallowed me whole.
Now I’m back in his town, and I’m about to find out just what happens when you cross a Thorne.
I spent most of my life keeping a secret. I was ashamed. I was scared. I was broken.
I thought my life was over the moment I met her, but I quickly realized it was only beginning.
She has her own hidden depths in those pretty eyes. And when she learns who I really am, I’m convinced she’ll push me away. But life has taught me to expect the unexpected.
It’s time to stand up for who I am. It’s time to admit who I love. And it’s time to seek love instead of darkness. But nothing is as easy as it seems because things have a way of revealing themselves at the most inopportune times.
Three secrets.
One heartbreak.
And the wedding of a lifetime.
