Why Don’t You Make Me ~ Rae Knight
✨ Happy Release Day ✨
Such a good book, I was sucked in so quickly!
Blurb:
Three years. That’s how long I thought I’d escaped the Iron Triad’s grip.
Since high school, I’ve rebuilt myself, free from the torment of my three ex-bullies. But when Thorne, cold and unapologetic, lands in my checkout line, I know my past isn’t done with me yet. One by one, the Iron Triad—Thorne, Ryder, and Blaze—crash back into my life, staking their old claim on me with the kind of intensity that sends a warning and a thrill down my spine.
They say they never intended to let me go, that they’ve been waiting. But I’m not the girl they once toyed with. I’m stronger, sharper, and if they think I’ll crumble, they’re dead wrong. This time, I’m the one pulling the strings. Yet the closer I get to unraveling their secrets, the harder it is to resist the pull between us—and if I’m not careful, it won’t be them left shattered. It’ll be me.
