Unapologetic Series by Pamela Ann

Lovers or enemies...those two were the only options on the table. Love. Chaos. Pure. Utter. Madness. A story about two orphans who made a pact. Star-crossed lovers both meant to shine. Add a hefty dose of jealousy and betrayal, it's the ultimate recipe for disaster.  Revenge...could it really be the sweetest of sins? River Ellis was my equal match when serving a cold dish of vindictiveness. We knew each other too well... moreLovers or enemies...those two were the only options on the table. Love. Chaos. Pure. Utter. Madness. A story about two orphans who made a pact. Star-crossed lovers both meant to shine. Add a hefty dose of jealousy and betrayal, it's the ultimate recipe for disaster.  Revenge...could it really be the sweetest of sins? River Ellis was my equal match when serving a cold dish of vindictiveness. We knew each other too well. We knew which spot to target and which part to make one come to heel. We exploited each other's weaknesses like the bastards that we were. We already live in a cruel world...but we were unapologetically harsher with each other. When we love, we love with every fiber within us. When we hate, we hate with every single spec of atom in our bodies--to the last drop of blood, to the very last air we breathe. Like a goddamn vendetta, it could only be settled until the opponent no longer lives and walks this earth.  When together, we soar. When apart, we wage a silent war.  River had been the yin to my yang. We understood that the only way to part--was to part as enemies. It's just the way of life. It's just how we were wired. No matter how we painted it, fold and unfold it, rearrange the puzzle, the truth will always resurface. It'll always prevail, poetically and tragically, unchanged. less

'Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall. – William ShakespeareTemptation is a wild dance, a tug of war of will, of faith, testing your limits, stretching your boundaries until you succumb to its wicked spell. Once it's touched you, tainted you, there's no turning back. It stays with you, feeding your doubts, nurturing your insecurity. Love … it can only go so far until it can no longer heal you... more'Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall. – William ShakespeareTemptation is a wild dance, a tug of war of will, of faith, testing your limits, stretching your boundaries until you succumb to its wicked spell. Once it's touched you, tainted you, there's no turning back. It stays with you, feeding your doubts, nurturing your insecurity. Love … it can only go so far until it can no longer heal you. When your soul seeks for something darker, an element harder to define, and you find yourself lost, forever searching for that missing piece that promises to complete you, there's no turning back.Like a ticking time bomb, I knew sooner or later, everything would begin to crumble. I should've known better. less

Cascade: Unapologetic: Book 3 Like the sands of time, it shifts, it's mercurial, it's unpredictable.  I grew up stern, detached, like a person looking through glass, observing. But all that lesson had come to the fore, and nothing could ever prepare me for what the next chapter entailed for me.  I could no longer be the observer... but the one being observed... moreCascade: Unapologetic: Book 3 Like the sands of time, it shifts, it's mercurial, it's unpredictable.  I grew up stern, detached, like a person looking through glass, observing. But all that lesson had come to the fore, and nothing could ever prepare me for what the next chapter entailed for me.  I could no longer be the observer... but the one being observed. He ceaselessly watched, clutching onto me like a disease, his poison gradually possessing me until I’m fully submerged, under his twisted spell. The dark side of love—his perverse love. My heart ceased to exist. My career was rising, my name was getting recognized. I had the fame I fought so hard to get, the very thing I didn’t want to sacrifice when he issued an ultimatum. I ran away from reality. I didn’t want to face my past and the very man who triggered all the bad and all the good I once had.  I’ve embraced my blackened soul. I’m immersed in it with no hope of escaping. Men clamored to have me while I waited for his beckoning…and he will come knocking. He always does. Time didn’t exist between us. The thought of seeing him again left me breathless. I was terrified he’d find out my secret…so I’ll keep on running until he finds me. I had it all and yet I was a walking disaster. less
