Deep End

by Ali Hazelwood

The thing is, I love reading Mafia erotica as much as the next girl with daddy issues, and my attraction for fictional guys making scenes in iconic, over-the-top ways is among my most virulent traits. But jealousy is born less of love and more of insecurity. And it intrigues me, the way Lukas obviously cares about Pen without being possessive of her.

The subject line just reads What you need. The body: If you decide to go for it, I think it should be me.

“I’m starting to suspect it’s part of a Big Pharma conspiracy to force us to seek psychiatric care.”

Highly susceptible to inspirational messaging. Must NOT join cult.

“There is a little bobblehead living inside my skull. She looks just like my therapist and looooves to remind me that if I don’t redefine my concept of failure, I’ll die of acute ventricular tachycardia before turning twenty-five.”
