Hell doesn't just follow me. It's a part of me - the most powerful one. When I called my father evil, I had no clue how true that was. For years, he's abused me. He had his reasons, but that doesn't make it any better. In truth, it makes me terrified of what I'll become. I'm an abomination. That's what Deke calls it, but I hate that term. How can I be the good girl and evil at the same time? More importantly, what does this mean for the guys I'm now bound to? The four of us have been tasked with making sure the seals that hold back Hell never break. We are the Brethren, the first line of defense against the start of the apocalypse. Just one problem: the seal in our backyard is already cracked. It's starting. My newfound power is the answer to all of this. If I can just learn how to master it - and keep the Order of Martyrs from finding out - then we can close the seal. If they figure out what I am, though, they will kill me. Because all abominations must die. Even the good ones. Tainted Love is a complete paranormal romance novel with a slow burn romance where the heroine doesn't have to choose between her love interests. Some aspects may be triggering for some readers. Includes stepbrother romance, an abusive parent, a parent lost to cancer, incidences of domestic violence, bullying, and plenty of general awkwardness. This series is a joint writing project between Auryn Hadley and Kitty Cox, as we've teamed up under a combined pseudonym, Cerise Cole.
