By Fate I Conquer (Sins of the Fathers, #4)

by Cora Reilly

I was only a young girl, dressed in my favorite tutu, when I came to the realization that the men in my family were like the monsters in the scary movies that Nevio loved to watch. And a piece of my heart broke.

“I fear what you’re capable of. I fear for the people who’ll cross your path in an unfortunate moment.” “That’s how nature works, you know?” he murmured. “There’s dark and light, there must be. Maybe it’s the same with twins, but it wasn’t split evenly between us. I got all the darkness and you got all the light.”

But Greta wasn’t a girl who deserved to be an affair. She was a woman who deserved to be someone’s number one, their one and only queen.

How could a single moment in time shift everything so drastically? One fleeting glance at the girl in the tutu…what if I’d just walked by instead to stop? My life would be so much easier right now, but I couldn’t regret spotting her.

I hadn’t picked her. I had lain eyes on her and had been a goner. Fuck, if I knew how that was possible.

it. Kissing her had been like a fucking rebirth.

Our love had burned stronger than any enmity.
