BE A DOLL
At
Carter Manor, women were groomed to become the perfect next trophy wife
for the most influential and powerful men in the world.
Polished, educated, and disciplined... they met every criteria.
Or did they?
LILA
After escaping two prospective husbands, I knew I didn't have much of a choice anymore but to play by the rules if I didn't want to end up back in the streets.
Upon meeting him I expected an older disgusting man, but he proved me wrong.
He was young, handsome... and despicable.
His cold hearted behavior and condescension caused me to lose my carefully built appearance of sophistication, but somehow, it made me win a husband who enjoyed toying with me until he could break the last pieces of who I used to be. I wouldn't let him.
I hated him.
At least I did at first, until I had a peek underneath his walls and discovered the kind of pain he shouldered.
MATHIS
I never thought I'd get married and even less that I would be purchasing my wife, but for my business I would do anything.
At the Manor, I was sure I'd find bland women so polished that nothing of their own personality was left. But one candidate couldn't hide the fire in her.
I was drawn, ready to toy with her, to tease her until she folded for me and let me take her to make her fully mine and not in name only.
I didn't want love, I didn't want her to be in my living space and I certainly didn't want her to see who I really was under the facade I had spent years shaping myself to be, but that was exactly what was happening.
She fascinated me.
Her strength made me want her in the most all-consuming way.
Now I wondered who possessed whom.

TAKE A CHANCE
MEGAN
Ever
since my brother brought Chance Atwood home during their freshman year
in college, I've been in love with him. I couldn't explain it or find a
way to silence my stupid heart.
I've
ignored those feelings for years, but watching Chance pick up a woman
at my brother's very unconventional wedding told me that I couldn't keep
on inflicting this kind of heartbreak on myself.
When a date with another man failed to make me forget the searing blue eyes I daydreamed of on a daily basis, I realized I had to take matters into my own hands by putting an end to this and see if my hopes were as ridiculous as I feared.
It was time to either give wings to my little heart or shatter the damn thing.
CHANCE
When
Megan Grimes, my best friend's little sister, told me she loved me it
was the single most insane moment of my life. It beat the day her
brother announced his plan to "purchase" a wife.
Like any self-absorbed man who had never noticed a friend's sister before, I handled it poorly.
But
the trouble was, I couldn't forget Megan's soft eyes, the pain I
inflicted her and more than everything, her beauty stunned me.
When she came back after fleeing the city, I had to see her, talk to her... and kiss her.
Conflicted
like never before, I risked losing my very heart, the one thing that
had no price tag, for a lifestyle I had thought was everything.
Megan took a chance; it was time Chance did the same.

Witter, in her twenties, lives in France where she comes up with book
ideas on her laptop, notebook or phone. When she's not writing the day
away, she likes visiting museums or shopping to add another nail polish
to her already huge collection. She's also unable to resist the appeal
of new books, even when she knows she can't possibly have the time to
read yet another one. She's happy to have a to-read pile so high she can
never put a dent into it even if she tries her best.
