Bloom
The Order Series 1
by Nikki Rae
Genre: Adult Dark Contemporary Romance
Synopsis:
Given to The Grimm Order as an infant, Fawn was raised in a world shaped
by the rich and powerful. When she was sold at the age of nine to a Suitor,
Fawn believed he would protect her from the “Mainworld”, where those who know
nothing about the Order live. Living with the cruel man who bought her freedom,
she finds just what the Order is about: money, control, and status for the
Owner and humiliation and abuse for those they own.
Unwilling to accept the expectations of being Owned, Fawn goes from
golden girl to maid, content to live in the shadows of the Order as long as she
isn’t Owned again.
It’s been ten years since she disgraced her former Owner’s name, and now
the brooding Frenchman Elliot Lyon wants her. Master Lyon is kind, smart, and
unlike any man she’s met. She doesn’t want to admit it to herself, but Fawn is
drawn to him despite constantly planning her next escape.
Even the prettiest flowers have thorns, and Master Lyon is hiding
secrets that will uproot everything she thinks she knows about him.
Excerpt
About the Author
“Fawn,” he said suddenly, his voice soft but
still making me jump in my seat. “Were they out of flower names?” he asked, a
smile in his voice.
He let on that he knew about the inner-workings
of the actual Compound more than my last Owner. Then again, my last one only
cared about one thing. He didn't play these mind games this guy seemed to like.
Master Lyon sighed, convinced I wouldn't
answer, but for some reason I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
“I was one of the originals at the California
Compound.” I hesitated almost too long before I brought my eyes back to his
face. He was staring, waiting for me to say more.
“We all had animal names,” I said, trying and
failing to hide the disgust in my voice.
“Fawn,” he said. “With those eyes?”
I
blinked, wondering what he meant.
“They’re so large and expressive,” he
explained. “You’re more of a Doe to me.”
So this would be my new name? Not Dog or Whore,
but Doe?
He smiled like I’d said something funny but I
wasn't joking. “Do you not like it?”
I didn't know why he cared if I did or did not
like something. It shouldn't matter to him. I didn't like any of this and it
was obvious. He was asking to toy with me, get me to talk. I was done talking.
I bit the inside of my cheek to keep the words from spilling out
