Hi Friends,
I’m so excited for you to read Sordid, which is coming soon! Grant and Bridget’s story is one I’ve enjoyed writing. I hope you’ll love it too. Today, I’m giving you a sneak peek at the prologue. I hope you enjoy!

Prologue
My shaky hand hovers above a document that could sever my already fragile relationship with my family. I watch as it trembles, knowing that I shouldn’t be doing this. I should walk away from this deal. It’s not right. This need for vengeance isn’t me. It might have been once, but something inside of me has changed. Ever since last week when I spoke to Spencer at the hospital, I’ve changed.
“What are you waiting for?”
Chelsea’s voice grates on my nerves, threatening to sever the little composure that I have.
“Just…give me a minute,” I snap.
“What’s there to think about? Sign the damn papers, Grant. You don’t have a choice. You stand to lose more than Spencer.”
The way she spits his name gives me pause. She’s always hated him. Hated them all. She’s a viper, ready to pounce on anything and everything my family possesses. And right now, I’m feeding her the prey.
“We need this property, Grant. If we don’t go international and we allow Lancaster Holdings, Inc. to expand before we do, we’ll be sunk. Lancaster is growing too fast. We set this plan in motion, and we’re already in too deep to stop.”
She’s right. Nothing can be changed. I chose this road a long time ago, and it’s too late to turn back now. There’s too much lost time. Once again, I allowed my pride to get in the way of everything. I’d let time slip through my hands, dissolve like grains of sand in an endless desert until the years passed without a word. I watched those grains dissolve into mirages. Transform into something else. Something new. Something miserable.
I’d watched from afar as others lived their lives. As they found love and happiness, while all I found was bitter disappointment. I’m not proud of who I am. Of who I’ve become. I was weak and foolish and failed myself.
And, in turn, I failed them.
My father was right, and I hated him for that. Loathed how right he was. So I secluded myself from everyone. From my parents and from my brothers, Spencer and Pierce.
Built a wall.
I built a fortress until all that was left before me was an empty horizon of regret. I had so many regrets, and it felt as if I was drowning . . .
Suffocating.
Without a second thought, I lower my hand to the paper and sign.
