A Sinner's Promise (De Bellis Crime Family, #1)

by Kylie Kent

to not have something you want because of fear of what might be isn’t living.

“If it’s a you issue, it’s a me issue,

“When this blows up in your face and you’re left feeling like your soul has been ripped from your body—because you will. You’ll feel pain in nerve endings you didn’t know existed. When that happens, you’ll hate yourself more than you could possibly hate anyone else. And you’re going to think thoughts that will both scare and give you the promise of peace. All while you’re weighed down by the knowledge that you can’t go through with those thoughts because you’re stuck. Stuck in an endless cycle of pain, regret, and looped memories.”
