twisted rivalry: alternate edition

JONAS

10K if I sleep with this guy’s brother.

His twin brother, Ryan Hawthorne.

I’ve never messed around with a guy, but for that much money, I’ll figure it out.

A descendant of American royalty, Ryan was born into money, status, and privilege. He spent his life in his family’s cushy mansion while my family struggled to get by.

Shortly after we meet, I discover an important detail about why his twin hired me for this gig.

I’m the spitting image of someone from Ryan’s past, someone he loved deeply.

I also discover that, despite my preconceptions, there’s more to Ryan than some snotty rich guy with the world at his fingertips.

He intrigues me, and after the hottest night of my life, I realize something about myself.

Something he’s brought out of me.

Now his brother has a new offer on the table.

But it means participating in a disturbing mind game with one object: screw with Ryan’s head.

I have to do this, but what’s happening between us isn’t a game.

The spark of that first night becomes a raging wildfire, and I allow the lines between real and fake to blur, losing myself in a chaotic mix of blood, lust, secrets, and lies, all tying back to this man from Ryan’s past.

The man I remind him of.

There’s a connection between us, yes. But what hope is there for a future with Ryan when his brother’s twisted rivalry keeps him trapped in the past?
