Degradation - A Captive Romance (The Brethren Lords)

He was my ruin. I was his salvation... I’m a thing to own. A vessel to use. As a Founder, my fate was sealed long before I could even speak it — I’m a political bride, handed over to a monster. Gift-wrapped for him.

The Chapter Lord of the United Kingdom is revered. Untouchable. Insane.

And Devin Blake, my silent, brutal guard, is sworn to protect the man who owns me.

But loyalty fractures in the dark. Pain turns to obsession, and fear gives way to a forbidden devotion, that sees us risk everything for a sliver of freedom. Only, one bloody act shatters our world — and I’m left with a choice; save myself, or save the man who loves me?

Six years later, I’m a ghost buried in a prison that doesn’t officially exist.

Devin is a weapon forged in grief and madness.

And when he steals me back, vengeance tastes a lot like love.

But in a secret society built on faith, blood, and control, nothing stays buried. Especially not the truth.

This is Devin and Paitlyn's story. Here's what to expect:
