“You have to figure out a way to forgive the mistakes of the past so you can build a future together.”
“Tell me, Jolie,” I growled, wishing my damn conscience would shut the fuck up. “Tell me you’ve missed this. Tell me you want this as much as I do. Tell me you want me. Tell me you want us.”
At nineteen, the silver spoon I’d been born with was ripped from my mouth…
I was heir to a throne built on lies, my crown forged with corruption.
Stripped of everything I’d been raised to consider my birthright.
Including my princess – who wasn’t mine after all.
“Tell me, Jolie,” I growled, wishing my damn conscience would shut the fuck up. “Tell me you’ve missed this. Tell me you want this as much as I do. Tell me you want me. Tell me you want us.”
“You’ve got it wrong. I don’t want to go backwards, Jolie.” I groaned against her mouth, lust tugging at my brainstem. I had tried ignoring her. I had tried forgetting her. I had tried deceiving her. It was about time I tried something different. “I want to fuck you into next week.”
“Even when I was trying to hate you, I still loved you. That was the only reason I could hate you—because I loved you so damn much.”
“So, you’re finally ready to admit there’s an us?”
Her breathy laugh, low and quiet, whispered across my lips. “There’s always been an us.”
The truth we were finally willing to admit thickened the air between us, pushing us closer together until not even a breath separated our mouths.
This girl? She held my heart in her hands. A heart that beat for her, belonged to her. A heart that had only ever been hers.
“I want to believe the fire between us hasn’t burned us both to ash. That we’ve been tempered by it, forged into steel. I want to own you and be owned by you. And I want to fuck you like you feel the same damn way.”
"Jolie had a temper.
The unfamiliar side of her was a bated book, shiny and tempting.
A trap.
And I knew exactly what would happen if I went after it..."
"As we kissed, time and hurt and shame fell away. There was only Jolie. Only us.
This didn't feel like revenge.
This just felt... right..."
Title: Legacy Of Lies (Legacy Of Lies #1)
Author: Tara Leigh
I was heir to a throne built on lies, my crown forged from corruption. Stripped of everything I'd been raised to consider my birthright. Including my princess—who wasn’t mine after all.
She was a deposed Park Avenue Princess who discovered that her tiara had been made of paste and plastic. Just as my crown had been nothing but a con.
Jolie and I had inherited a legacy of lies. Tonight, it would go up in flames.
This woman was going to annihilate me. Again. And I was going to let her.
“…Why had I ever thought love would feel like sunshine and rainbows? It didn’t. The love I felt—it was fierce and possessive and pervasive. Invading every crevice, every cell, every atom of my being.”
“I was heir to a throne built on lies, my crown forged from corruption.”
“Was he a frog… A guy you kiss to find out if he’s really your prince?”
“ …A real Prince will treat you like a princess right from the start. Kissing a boy won’t ever turn him into a prince.”
“Our bodies became one that night, but it was our hearts that truly adhered. Our souls that had fused together.”
“…I was about to fight a war…with stakes so high I couldn’t afford to lose. Would Jolie be my ally…or my enemy? Would we come out of this war unscathed and united? Or would we be decimated and divided?”
