Description

She escaped them once. Three years later, they're the only monsters dangerous enough to protect her.

Killian, Tristian, and Rath were part of a past she'd rather forget. Back in high school, the three boys held all the power. They knew her secrets, she knew theirs, and one devastating night gave her every reason to run and never look back.

But she was hiding an even bigger secret.

Now, three years later, she's desperate enough to show up on their doorstep.

The boys she remembers have become Lords of Forsyth University—powerful, feared, and even more dangerous than before. Turning to them for help is the last thing she wants, but someone has been stalking her since she fled town, and the unknown monster hunting her makes the ones from her past seem like the safer choice.

To gain their protection, she'll have to become their Lady.

But protection from Killian, Tristian, and Rath comes with a price. Living under their roof means entering their world, surrendering control, and confronting the complicated history and dark secrets that still bind all four of them together.

She may be protected by the Lords—but she's also completely at their mercy.

Dark, twisted, and intensely angsty, Lords of Pain begins a why-choose romance filled with obsession, power struggles, revenge, complicated trauma, and three morally gray men who blur the line between her tormentors and her protectors.
