Nothing about Kaitlyn's life has been easy. And she isn't too proud to admit that she hasn't always made the wisest of choices. But when she finally hits rock bottom, she swallows the tatters of what was once her pride and calls her older sister for help. The problem is that her sister, Lucille, happens to live in what Kaitlyn loving refers to as a cult of nature lovers. They live out in the woods far, far away from anything resembling what Kaitlyn is familar with. Keeping to themselves they are an enigma to her and many nearby. Can she find what she needs with her sister and this new 'family' that her sister has joined? Content may not be suitable for all readers. For readers of my other novels, this one is far steamier, including some bad smut in the first chapter. Fyi!

Finally free of the city orphanage, Adella is ready to take on the world. To spread her wings, prove her worth. But fate has other plans. Thrust from mediocrity into a brand new world of pedigree and blood lines, this down to earth orphan's life takes an unexpected turn. Shocked, Adella is finally getting what she has always wanted but given up on finding - a home, a life, a family. Her new life brings her into contact with new people. Business contacts, new friends and men. Two in particular take an interest. Cassian Moretti a playboy bartender and Evander Santos a successful CEO and acquaintance of her family. For a while, everything seems to be going smoothly. She eases in and begins to enjoy the perks and status that comes with it. And while she still has many unanswered questions, everything seems to be coming together. However, just when she starts to feel comfortable, cracks begin to show a darker layer under the gilded façade. It becomes readily apparent that not everything is as it seems. Simultaneously, her ingrained feelings of not being good enough drive her forward. Running head long down the rabbit hole, soon everything Adella knows and believes in, everything she is - is torn up, laid bare, and challenged. When the dust settles, and she can see everything for what it is; especially the past - how it is tangled in her present and dictating her future - can she handle it and assume her birthright? Or will she find herself broken and alone? ***This is a slower paced/slow burn of a story that follows our character through her journey's twists and turns. As the layers are peeled back revealing a tangled truth, there is action, angst and some steam.
