Sinister Debt

Sometimes it's better to put an arrogant dog out of his misery.

That's what Ember, a veterinary assistant in the small town of Parys, believes when she looks across the street at Aidan—the boy next door turned lewd heartbreaker.

Once, he was her brother's best friend.
Once, he was the only one who truly saw her.
Once, they shared a bond forged in misery… until the night he shattered her heart.

Now Ember is trapped—abandoned by her father and brother, living with an alcoholic mother hiding dangerous secrets, and clinging to survival the only way she knows how.

When she's thrown out and forced to take refuge at the clinic where she works, Ember believes she's finally free.

Until Aidan walks back into her life carrying a wounded puppy named Pluto.

With every buried secret that surfaces, Ember realizes the truth about her town, her family, and the man she never truly escaped.

But when revenge, desire, and betrayal collide, who will survive the debt left behind?

And who will pay the price?
