Complacency comes easily when you have been ensconced in evil for over half your life with no visible way to escape. But when the manager of the exclusive club I "work" at informs me that he has sold me to the man who has tortured me for majority of my memory, it gives me the kick in the ass I need to attempt escape, albeit without a plan.Chaos seems to follow me like vultures follow carrion, but somehow I manage to meet a few people who make it all worth fighting for. A nurse nicknamed Ken Kesey, who saves my life from a rattlesnake bite, but more so, from the hospital stay that I am sure will send me straight back into the club’s searching arms. A drug-dealing, cowboy-hat wearing asshole who loves classic cars and has a soft spot for helping and fixing broken things, as much as he tries to deny it. An almost silent mortician covered in the worst scars I have ever seen, who relies on music as a grounding mechanism for his broken mind. Until he meets me and I become his obsession. A goliath who works as a fixer, and seems determined to complete his job to send me back to the club that has destroyed more than just my body. 3 of these men fall into my life and we seem to be inextricably linked to each other from the moment we meet.I only ever wanted to move forward with my life, and to let the past rot in the boxes of my mind that I have buried as deep as possible.Unfortunately, nothing that is buried stays buried forever, and the men who have come to stand by my side come face to face with my past and present demons.But will they be able to save me when the Devil comes to collect what he believes is his due? Or will I be the cause of their demise instead? Will the nightmares of my past ever let me rest? This is a stand alone reverse harem/why choose romance, where the FMC will have multiple romantic partners and will not need to pick between them.

It’s all fun and games till someone you love dies…as long as you consider training and torture synonyms for fun and games.I was created for one reason; to save the Earth from the invading gods who wished to drain it until it was nothing but a lifeless husk. The problem was, I didn’t know who the gods were. So my mentors— a race of oracles who had been cursed to live as animals over two decades ago-- decided it was a good idea to take the socially stunted, forest-raised girl and thrust her into an elite academy in order to befriend and obtain information on a few potential gods.Seeing as I had been trained to wake at a whisper and stab at a moment’s notice, and I had no idea how to interact normally with people, my integration into society went about as smoothly as a fawn trying to stand for the first time. That was, until I was adopted by a few friends who accepted me (almost) without question.With their help, and the help of a necromancer, thief, vampire, and Death, (don’t ask, it’s complicated) my search for the gods progressed.But when someone close to me was killed by one of the gods I should have vanquished, things I thought I knew became distorted, and I wondered how much of what I had been told was true. Please note this is a PNR reverse harem novel with MM where the FMC will not have to choose between her love interests.While this is not a dark romance, please be aware there are a few triggers that are mentioned at the beginning of the book.Multiple characters have a play on (although not always 100% medically accurate) mental illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s, ADHD, depression, OCD, D.I.D., autism, schizophrenia, and a smattering of insanity.
