In the seedy, underground club, I take a mouthful of whisky to mask my pounding fury. All around me sit shadowy figures with baseball caps pulled low over their faces or bandanas around their mouths and noses, while young and drugged up women are paraded in front of us, some with vacant expressions, some with barely concealed terror. The first round are the girls and women who aren’t virgins, and they’re all dressed like colorful, flashy strippers with most of their flesh on display. My heart is in my mouth as each woman is dragged on stage with a chain around her neck. The bidding is humiliating for the women. Some go for as little as a thousand dollars. A thousand for a human life. It’s disgusting.

After an hour, the unseen woman running the auction announces over the speakers that the first round is over and the virgins will be next, and I sit upright in shock. Scarlet hasn’t appeared. They’ve killed her. I’ll burn this place down. I’ll murder every last person in this club with my bare—

Before I can leap out of my seat, Scarlet is dragged on stage by a chain around her neck.

My whole world turns crimson with bloodlust at the sight of her terrified face.

The man holding the chain.

The invisible woman calling my girl, “Lot one-one-seven” instead of her name.

The buyers all around me devouring Scarlet with greedy eyes.

I’ll kill them all.

Focus. I’ll get Scarlet safely away from here, and later I can take as much revenge as I want.

I listen to the bids going up and up. Twenty thousand. Twenty-five thousand. The bids dwindle until there’s just one man left. He’s wearing a cheap shirt and a twisted, triumphant sneer on his lips, and he’s staring at Scarlet like she’s a butterfly and he’s craving to pull her wings off.

“One hundred thousand dollars,” I call out.

Purple shirt man glares at me. He opens his mouth like he wants to make another bid, and then takes an angry swig of his drink.

The room is silent.

“Lot one-one-seven, sold to bidder nineteen.”

I stand up and stride to the back of the room where the bursar is waiting at a laptop and complete the Bitcoin transaction. No cash and credit cards here, only cryptocurrency that can’t be traced.

Then I’m led into a side room and told to wait for my goods.

A few minutes later, a door opens and Scarlet is thrust inside. She stumbles, and as she looks up at me with haunted eyes, she bursts into tears. I draw her into my arms and cradle her against my chest, murmuring soft words as she heaves against me. Her whole body is shaking in fear. “It’s all right. Daddy’s got you.”

“How did you find me here? Did Zac tell you? Mr. Ventura, I’m so sorry. I don’t understand how this happened.”

I take her tearstained face in my hands and kiss her tears from her cheeks. She’s warm and alive, and she’s mine. All mine. “I’m just relieved I got you back.”

“Please take me home.”

My smile is devilish. Home, to those assholes who didn’t even know she was gone? I don’t fucking think so. “I can’t do that, babygirl. I paid a lot of money for you and now you’re in my debt. How are you going to pay me back?”

She swallows and her face falls. “Of course I’ll pay you back, every cent. I’m a hard worker.”

I shake my head. “On minimum wage with a skating career to support? I’d like to see return on my investment before I die.”

 “Investment?” she echoes.

“Either you’re mine for the next month…or I put you right back in that room and those men can fight over you. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing.” My smile widens. “Don’t call me Mr. Ventura. Call me Daddy.”

Scarlet is staring at me like she doesn’t recognize me. This is me, rosebud. I’m done playing nice.

“Daddy?”

It’s a question, not an address, but that sweet word twines through me and short-circuits the last of my patience. I take her hand and tug her toward the door. She can get used to her new reality later. I need to get her in my house, now.

In my bedroom. In my bed.

Bend by Grahame Claire

I thought arranged marriages died a few centuries ago.

Apparently, my father didn’t get the memo.

In one week I’m supposed to say I do to a man I’ve never met.

And the only way I see out of it? Marry someone else first.

The problem is I have one option on such short notice:

The jerk who shattered my heart.

Three Reasons You Should Read This Sweet Paranormal Romance:

  1. Of Songs and Seashells by T.M. Franklin is an incredibly new and fun twist on the character from The Little Mermaid – it was not what I expected – in a great way.
  2. While we don’t see too much of the villian, her presence is felt almost from the very beginning, and her motivation was unique and very believable.
  3. Bash and his nephew, Wyatt, were great characters and along with Bash’s mother rounded out the cast of characters wonderfully.

Of Songs and Seashells by T.M. Franklin

An immortal woman.
An ancient curse.
A deadly pact.


Lily has roamed the earth for centuries, unable to die but also unable to truly live, lest her secret be discovered.

Unfortunately, saving a young boy from an almost-deadly accident attracts a handsome stranger’s rapt attention.

He sees her in a way few others have before, putting them both at risk and awakening an ancient curse.

After years of searching and nearly losing all hope, Lily’s finally found something—and someone—to live for. But will that be enough to save them from what is coming?

My review of Of Songs and Seashells:

What if The Little Mermaid didn’t have her happily ever after? Where would she be today? Of Songs and Seashells by T.M. Franklin starts with a different ending to the classic fairy tale. Lily doesn’t get her happily ever after with her prince and instead finds herself in a small coastal town many, many years later. Right off the bat, this story had my attention.

Lily was one of my favorite characters from book one. Of Snow and Roses. and she didn’t disappoint as I got to know her better in her own story. A loner, all she wants is to be left alone. But she finds herself wrapped up in trying to save a town from an ancient being – and maybe letting a little boy and his family into her heart.

Young Wyatt enters the story with a bang and a tumble and quickly finds out that Lily isn’t quite as normal as she wants everyone to think. He’s a fun kid, and I fell in love with him. And even better, he has a cute, and equally charming, father. Bash starts off a bit rude, but it was a good way to introduce him to Lily and give them room to grow and come to trust each other.

Now, the villain (I won’t say who they are) was brilliant. She had motivation, means, and has a history with Lily that tied her past to her present. She was tough enough to bring everyone together without being the super-mega impossible foe that they need a miracle to beat. I loved it.
