Ainsley

Grayson Edwards is my best friend's brother and so off-limits. There are a hundred reasons why we don't make sense.

Not my type.

Moody AF.

Popular.

He's bad.

During the day, it all seems so clear, but at night... my dreams paint a different picture.

He's so damn serious, and I don't care about anything except getting out of Elmwood until I get an unsettling text. The closer I get to Grayson, the more threatening they become.

Grayson

Ainsley Fisher's the worst kind of temptation. She's my sister's best friend and the complete opposite of the girls I date.

Outspoken.

Cute and nerdy.

Dark.

She's bad.

I shouldn't have noticed her, and I could have stayed away if it wasn't for that stupid kiss. Why the f*ck did I kiss her? But the more that I'm around her, the less I want to fight the urge to possess her.

She might have the key to unlock the chains I keep tight around my heart, but can she handle who I really am?

Unchained

Trigger warnings: sexual assault, violence, addiction, drugs, drinking, swearing.
