    Summary

    You never used to be this desperate. Never used to allow yourself to grovel at a man’s feet for him just to give you the smallest morsels of warmth in return. Yet, you found yourself lapping up each and every crumb.

    It was never supposed to even be him. It was Tommy that set his eyes on you on that godforsaken night at the bar—the night that turned to utter carnage.

    Yet now, you would do just about anything to have his brother look at you with the same warmth and wanting.

    You wanted to hate Joel Miller, wanted to feel nothing but disgust as you looked at him but you never could… and so in turn, you allowed him to ruin you over and over in every sense of the word.

    ***
    Or the events that took place during the two decades leading up to part 1

    Summary

    “Then stop, Cassian!” She was shouting now, inches from his face. “Stop fighting for my life! I never asked you to! Forget about me and move on!”

    A sparkling tear froze on the tip of her eyelash and he felt a triumph in it, this sign that she was in there somewhere. His hands ached for her. This had all gone so differently in his head.

    “I can’t,” he admitted.

    Summary

    You are the kindest thing that ever happened to me, even if that is not how our tale is told.
    When everyone else told me I was destined to be a forgotten nymph that nurtured flowers and turn meadows gold,
    you saw that the ichor that resides in me demanded its own throne. You showed me
    how a love like ours can turn even the darkest, coldest realm into the happiest of homes.
    -Nikita Gill

    When tragedy strikes Jackson, destroying their food stores, Maria and Joel travel to a neighboring community to negotiate for food. Little does Joel know, he will be leaving that meeting with a woman he met by chance on patrol a year earlier. Neither Joel nor Jackson, is prepared for Persephone.
