Uncovering You Series by Scarlett Edwards

When I wake up in a dark, unfamiliar room, I have no idea what's waiting for me in the shadows. My imagination conjures up demons of the worst kind. Reality is much worse: A collar with no leash. A prison with no walls. And a life stripped of meaning. I am presented with a vile contract and asked to sign. It outlines the terms of my servitude. The only information I have about my captor are the two small letters inked at the bottom: J.S... moreWhen I wake up in a dark, unfamiliar room, I have no idea what's waiting for me in the shadows. My imagination conjures up demons of the worst kind. Reality is much worse: A collar with no leash. A prison with no walls. And a life stripped of meaning. I am presented with a vile contract and asked to sign. It outlines the terms of my servitude. The only information I have about my captor are the two small letters inked at the bottom: J.S. Armed with only my memories, I must do everything I can to avoid becoming ensnared in his twisted mind games. But in the end, it all comes down to one choice: Resist and die. Or submit, and sign my life away. less

I have survived the worst. I have come out of the darkness with my sanity intact. Now, I get to meet the monster holding me here. For the first time since my captivity began, I get to meet Stonehart. Whatever he wants, I'll be ready. The collar may be tight around my neck, but I will not be a prisoner. A prisoner has no choice. A prisoner has no purpose. But a concubine, on the other hand? She always has a choice. And today, I choose to fight... moreI have survived the worst. I have come out of the darkness with my sanity intact. Now, I get to meet the monster holding me here.

Jeremy Stonehart is a cruel, vindictive man. He wants me to submit. He wants me to give in. I will never give in. I will never yield. No matter what he subjects me to, I will always fight. I will not forget my resolve. Let Stonehart think me broken. I am not so easily deterred as that. No matter what he puts me through, I will always remember my own strength. I will always remember that in the end, I have control of the one thing he really wants: My mind... moreJeremy Stonehart is a cruel, vindictive man. He wants me to submit. He wants me to give in.

I know that I am here for a reason. Stonehart abducted me, starved me, and left me in the dark... all for a reason. He is a cold man, but he is not irrational. He has his purpose. I have not yet discovered what it is. I should despise him. I should feel nothing but disgust when I think of him. And yet... yet sometimes, I don't. Because there are those precious moments when he makes me feel magnificent. Treasured. Like a real person. One who actually matters to him... moreI know that I am here for a reason.

I should despise him. I should feel nothing but disgust when I think of him. And yet... yet sometimes, I don't. Because there are those precious moments when he makes me feel magnificent. Treasured. Like a real person. One who actually matters to him. I know those fleeting displays of affection should not sway my resolve. But I am not him. I do not possess his self-control. I cannot stay unaffected forever. Bit by bit, my stand is wearing at me. Do I still want revenge? Do I still want vengeance? Yes. Yes, of course I do. I want revenge. I want retribution. But Stonehart wants something from me, too. And the terrifying question that lurks in the back of my mind is: In the end, will it be his retribution, or mine? less

I am mentally exhausted. I am at my wit's end. I am in the dark, again, with no end in sight. But just when all hope seems lost, a light appears at the end of the tunnel. A confession... that breaks me from the stranglehold of hopelessness and despair. An admission... that brings new dimensions to the man who is shrouded in secrecy. Stonehart’s revelation can never change what he’s done to me... moreI am mentally exhausted. I am at my wit's end. I am in the dark, again, with no end in sight. But just when all hope seems lost, a light appears at the end of the tunnel. A confession... that breaks me from the stranglehold of hopelessness and despair. An admission... that brings new dimensions to the man who is shrouded in secrecy. Stonehart’s revelation can never change what he’s done to me. But can it be enough to make a difference in how I see him? As old questions are answered, new ones arise: Is it possible for a man to change? Is is possible for him to repent for all his sins? And, perhaps most important of all: Is it possible for me to forgive? less

Evil. That is really the best way to describe Jeremy Stonehart. When he was Stonehart. Is he that anymore? I don't know. As he reveals more and more of himself to me, I start to see a glimmer of the man beneath the surface. I start to understand, in some small way, that even evil comes from a source, from some initial seed that sprouted and took hold of a person's soul. Evil is what Jeremy was... moreEvil.

I start to understand, in some small way, that even evil comes from a source, from some initial seed that sprouted and took hold of a person's soul. Evil is what Jeremy was. But is it what he will continue to be? I will only find out by sticking to him until the very end. It is my only choice. It is my only option. It is the only way I will get answers, and the only way that I will get... Revenge. less

I know why I was taken. How much does that change things? I cannot say. I still have a weakness for Jeremy when he is Jeremy. But when he's Stonehart? Well, that's when all of my hatred comes back. I have to make myself detached, indifferent, and emotionally removed to make the proper decision on what to do next. Jeremy makes detachment hard. Stonehart makes it easy. What side of him will I get? I don't know. Only one thing's for sure: right now, I'm in the poker game of my life.. moreI know why I was taken. How much does that change things? I cannot say.

I've wormed my way into Jeremy's heart, just as I promised myself I would. But whereas before, I wanted to be there to strike at him... now, I'm not so sure. My life is still defined by secrets. Secrets that I can never tell another living soul. Fey and Robin want to be let in. They want to know what is happening to me. I have to say no. I have to say push them away because only Jeremy can come on this journey with me. He is always there. He is my only constant... moreI've wormed my way into Jeremy's heart, just as I promised myself I would. But whereas before, I wanted to be there to strike at him... now, I'm not so sure.

Uncovering You 10: The Finale is the definitive conclusion to the series, and is told from both Lilly's and Jeremy's perspectives.
