By Any Means

My brother’s best friend was never someone I was supposed to want…but I did anyway.
And by the time I found the courage to act on it, he was already gone.
Ten years later, he’s back.
Just not as the boy I remember.
Duncan is The Restorer, a powerful and reclusive man bent on revenge.
And for some reason, that revenge starts with me.
He blackmails me into moving into his mansion, where every night I’m at his mercy, a twisted art project he shapes however he wants.
It should terrify me, the way he’s become so cruel, cold, and unforgiving. But I know better.
I see through him. The man he used to be is still there, buried underneath it all.
That’s why, despite everything, I stay.
He doesn’t get to erase me from his life again.
I’m here to take what’s mine, and that’s him.
By any means.
