Thanks to your love for The Escaped Con's Hostage, Inkitt has picked up this story for their Galatea app. I've worked hard to make it better, longer, and steamier! It will debut very soon over there and I will keep you all updated! For now, only the first five chapters will be available. Thank you for your support!

“It’s time for bed. Scoot over,” he demands.
I huff, sitting myself up. “No. This gun conversation isn’t over.”
His jaw clenches and I swallow. Clearly he’s not used to people refusing him. Which makes sense. He’s a fucking gangster—an escaped convict.
“Move. Over.” This time he stamps his fists into the bed, meeting me eye to eye.
“No,” I reply softly and much weaker than I intend. “I’m not sleeping next to you. I hardly even know you.”
Brandon gets so close now that I feel his breath on my eyelashes, heavily scented from my mint toothpaste he borrowed.
But even though my heart is beating a million times a minute, I add, “If you want me to scoot over, you’ll have to make me.”
He dons a smirk. “I thought you’d never ask, princess.”
As his hands catch me at the waist, I stifle the urge to scream.
Thank you for checking out this story! This story is for readers 18 and older. It is a dark romance and explores many of the following CONTENT WARNINGS:
-Cussing (get your bars of soap ready!)
-Physical abuse (briefly shown in ch.1)
-Verbal abuse (especially done by the stepfather so if this is triggering for you, I understand!)
-Violence & fighting (especially in the middle and near the end)
-Religion used as a form of control (Christian)
-There will be explicit spice as this is a dark romance, after all :)
-Plenty of heart and emotion❣️
