This is the prequel to Corrupt Idol, which documents Jesse Sampson’s descent into obsession as he falls for his stepsister, Violet Carr.
It was love at first sight. Violet brought color back into his world after his father died. She needed him as much as he needed her. They weren’t just family, they were best friends. They spent every waking moment together. Everything was perfect… until it wasn’t.
He thought nothing could keep them apart, but he underestimated the hold their conservative, religious background and parent’s approval had on Violet. It stopped her from acknowledging what was between them. To committing to him. And it drove him over the edge.
He didn’t know love could turn him into a monster. He didn’t know that love could become a corrupt obsession that would ruin everything and leave him with nothing. But that’s exactly what happened.
Author's Note: This is an erotic novel with triggers and mature themes that may make readers uncomfortable. Please read with caution.
Note about censorship: Apple and Barnes&Noble rejected the book out of hand for non-con and “pseudo-incest.” The retailers listed are the only ones that allowed the pre-order. There’s still a possibility that Amazon and others could stop it from publishing once the manuscript is submitted, so I’ll make sure that it can be purchased directly from me. It will also be available on Ream.
Sneak peek!
Read chapters 1 & 2!
I’ll also be sending out chapter 3 before release so keep your eyes peeled for my newsletter, blog, or my Instagram (yes, I gave in and this is my only account on social media)! I will be posting very inconsistently, but it is there if I need to communicate with you all!
Background on cover
I freaking LOVE this cover! There are a lot of religious references in this book, so I felt the apple was such a great symbol of temptation and sin. The way my cover designer incorporated the barbed wire and the rotting core were such great touches and the bluebonnets its surrounded by is a nod to a major turning point scene within the book! 👀
Updates
We’re soooo close! Eek! I’m excited and not gonna lie, extremely nervous about putting this book out there. I never thought I’d write the prequel because I knew it would be a minefield of triggers. Even I wince and cringe while editing and I freaking wrote the book! I can’t imagine how readers are going to react. But I think it’s an honest depiction of a toxic relationship. It's raw, disturbing, sweet, and will tear your heart out. I can't wait for you all to read it!
