Deceit

Kingston 'King' Stevens Growing up, I thought I was untouchable. I was the ruler of my world and nothing was going to bring me down for any reason. My plan was to have it all and live my life the way I truly want—free and by my own rules. Instead, my plans got completely derailed in a split second. I almost lose everything in the blink of an eye and the demons follow me down the very long road I have in front of me. One I don't know I want to take because it's taken absolutely everything from me. The two people I look up to in the world manage to get me out of my head and back on the path I belong. However, things take another turn down the wrong path when a woman I quickly find myself falling for learns not everything is as it seems with me. Our relationship might have started out in a horrible way, but my feelings are genuine. I just have to convince her she's the one for me and that I wasn't lying to her. Brynn Johns All of my life I've been picked on and teased. All because I'm the youngest kid in my family and one who wasn't planned. My sister and brother tease me relentlessly to the point that everyone else joins in and I lose all faith in every adult in my life. I keep my secrets to myself and suffer in silence. The second I'm able to, I choose to move away from the only home I've ever known and my family to start my life on my own without the constant teasing and holding everything in. That's when my life truly takes a turn and I don't want to confide in the people who are supposed to love and protect me above anyone else. Instead, my savior comes in the form of a man I was falling for. One who lied to me and didn't tell me everything from the very beginning.
