Wrath by Lacey Heart

~ Preston ~ My Papa was an angry man.
All he really cares about is in this life is money, liquor and women; and not in that particular order.
He’s fierce, evil and feared by most. Most, except me.
There was a brief period of time where I would have done anything for my Papa. A time when I would have done anything to please him.
I guess I just wanted him to see me. The real me. His son. Not what he wanted me to be.
But with each miserable year that passed, and the faster I grew, I soon realized the day I was desperately waiting for would never arrive.
You can’t force someone to want you. You can’t force someone to love you.
I suppose the odds were stacked against me from the start.
My Papa had no intention of knocking up one of his whores. And my Papa sure as hell didn’t expect her to die while birthing his bastard.
That bastard would be me: Preston Rydel, and I’m not a defenseless little child any more.

~ Sophia ~ “Dreams are exactly that, girl. Dreams. A total waste of energy, and you sure as hell won’t get far in life with that kind of attitude.”
My momma had my life planned out for me, but it wasn’t the life I wanted.
I was nothing but a measly pawn in her evil and twisted games.
And I wanted out… no matter the cost.
Preston Rydel was supposed to be my saviour. Only it turned out he had some evil plans for me too.
As the KING of Rivington, there’s no way he’d ever keep his promise to me. Instead, he has his heart set on destroying me.
For good.
