When She Unravels (The Fallen, #1)

by Gabrielle Sands

“No, I’m a wolf. And you’re a sheep that wandered into the wrong pasture.”

It’s a bitter, painful end to something that was never destined to be a love story.

Who would I become if I confessed my biggest secret and my biggest shame? Would it help me sleep at night? Would it allow me to heal?

My father condemned me, my mother abandoned me, my husband ruined me.

“You are never going to say that again, all right? You’re not a monster. You’re a fucking survivor. You survived something that most hardened made men wouldn’t be able to come back from, and you put your neck on the line to save my sister. There’s only one monster in the story you told me—your husband. He will pay for what he did to you, Valentina. My God, he will pay a high price.”

I’m not a romantic. I refuse to believe in love. In my experience, it’s toxic and makes people do stupid, unforgivable things.

If I don’t get her back, the world as I know it will end. There won’t be any light in it without her.

She. Can. Not. Be. Fucking. Dead.

“I don’t want a kept woman. I want a partner. An equal by my side. That’s you. If I’m about to become a king, you will be my queen.”
