Ruby Tears (The Jewelry Box, #1)

“I met a man I hoped could be the one. But he turned out to be the beast who ruins me…”I’m the illegitimate son of a monster.I truly have the devil inside.I try to be good.To ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges.But every day, it gets harder.To prove to myself that I’m not completely damned, I attempt to infiltrate a trafficking ring to save all those trapped within it.Only problem is, I meet her on the night of my initiation.I’m given a task to take her, steal her, train her.She sparkles like diamonds, bleeds like rubies, and bruises as deep as emeralds.She’s mine to break.I can’t refuse.I beg her to play along with me.To help me stay human.To act with me in a performance where we both might survive.Yet the more we pretend, the more real it becomes, and I have a horrible feeling the only one who will be breaking…is me.
