As much as we, the community, love the Seduce Me the Otome franchise, most of us can admit that the side stories aren't as polished looking back at them from 2021. Thus, I gave myself a challenge: Rewrite each one for the fun month of December. Is there more than 25 rewrite/routes? Yes. Will I turn them into 25? Also yes.
Sam Riley is a veteran detective living in seclusion. But when an old partner resurfaces, Riley is forced to face the demons of his past. But one thing is certain: Nothing is as it seems.
WARNING: This book starts off sad. I mean sad sad sad sad sad. And it stays pretty consistently sad but with bits of snarky humor tucked in here and there and some crush-worthy romance. A heartbroken girl, a bad boy, and a guy who cares more than he probably should. Can you handle it? Farren just lost the love of her life. She and Micah had been dating for years and they were always that adorably-cute-somewhat-nauseating high school couple that everyone was sure was going to be together forever. Then he died. A car wreck. And now everything Farren thinks she knows -- everything she's ever loved -- everything about herself changes. She doesn't know who she is anymore or what kind of person she can be without him. Enter Corbin Contreras. He comes strolling nonchalantly into Farren's workplace looking for her boss who is an attorney working on Corbin's most recent DUI case. He's eighteen and he's bad but everything about him intoxicates Farren. She's able to escape from the despair that fills her thoughts, but at what cost? Micah's brother, Jace, takes it upon himself to watch over Farren - much to Farren's irritation - but will he be able to save her from the destructive path her life is taking? Or will it be too late? **My first published work so there will be typos -- feel free to point them out :P**
