Ravaged Castle

“There once was a castle, so mighty and high,
With large, gilded gates, it rivaled Versailles.
To all those below, it was splendid and lush,
But to those inside, it was ravaged and crushed.
Five Ravage boys born amongst old, rotted roots,
Their father ensured they’d all grow to be brutes.
Some said they were cursed, sworn off of desire,
But they turned into men and found what they required.
Forbidden, illicit, they had to work for that love,
They questioned that castle when push came to shove.
The curse and the rot gave way to unsavory tastes,
Dark proclivities and sick, messed up traits.
Five stories of five men with sinfully dark tales,
The Ravage brothers prove that love does prevail.”

1. PREY TELL by Amanda Richardson

SYNOPSIS

They say monsters are made, not born. He was both…

Chase

As the second youngest Ravage brother, I’ve spent my entire adult life rectifying our tainted family name and keeping my urges behind closed doors. Until my best friend’s little sister shows up at The Hunt ready to play, and I lose control.

I tell myself it’s just a taste. Except, with her, I should’ve known a single taste wouldn’t be enough. And then the good girl I’ve known most of my life drops to her knees. For me.

From that moment on, I knew she would only ever be one thing. Mine.

Juliet

Presenting my brother’s best friend with a pros/cons list of why he should take my virginity seemed like a good idea at the time. I thrive on information, data, and lists, and it made sense on paper. Until he rejected me and walked out of my life. Now, eight years later, my life is falling apart despite my careful planning.

Tempted with an invite to Ravage Castle, I show up seeking answers to questions I’m not sure I can handle. Except, a furious Chase finds me talking to another man. Under his gilded, arched roof.

I soon learn that despite his controlled exterior, Chase seems to have one weakness. Me.

2. MARRY LIES by Amanda Richardson

SYNOPSIS

He never wanted a wife, but for her, he’d spin a web of lies.

Miles

The idea of seeking a wife to salvage our family’s reputation starts as a joke… until it spirals into a desperate reality. Before I know it, I’m lying my way into a marriage of convenience with a woman who is everything I’m not.

Estelle Deveraux radiates warmth where I’m shrouded in darkness, exudes vibrant colors while I dwell in shades of gray, and irritates me with her maddening cheerfulness. I find myself entranced, watching… craving.

Before I know it, she’s not just my wife but an all-consuming obsession—one I didn’t anticipate. And one I can’t let go.

Stella

Being presented with an opportunity to kickstart my clothing line is a dream come true. The only caveat? I have to stay married to Miles Ravage for a year and sing his praises to anyone who will listen.

Bad-tempered, unsmiling, and cold, Miles is exactly the kind of man I loathe. However, beneath the ice, I uncover an enticing complexity—a veiled darkness that lures me in, begging me to discover his secrets. One watchful secret in particular… with me as his sole obsession.

3. WARD WILLING by Amanda Richardson

SYNOPSIS

She was the epitome of forbidden fruit. And I wanted a taste.

Liam

Being the oldest Ravage brother means I’ve always been the fixer, handling everyone else’s mess. But the one problem I can’t solve? Keeping my hands off Zoe, my best friend’s daughter.

Hidden away in my remote cabin, writing is my escape until duty thrusts her into my life. Over the years, Zoe evolves into a tempting taboo–the one person I crave but can never claim, despite what she tells me about her… inclinations. I vowed protection at any cost–even if it’s from myself.

Zoe

Orphaned and thrust into adulthood, I bury myself in school work and keep my eyes trained on the prize. Now, with law school and an uncertain future looming, I’m used to doing everything myself and pushing back against Liam’s stoic, overprotective resolve. Until I learn that the vanilla, cinnamon roll of a man I’ve known my whole life isn’t so vanilla after all.

Now, instead of infuriating me, his strict, commanding presence sends shivers down my spine. I soon realize his resistance was never about denying desire for him—it was about fulfilling a different kind of hunger.
