Stolen Innocence

I was sold like property on the day of my father's funeral. I'd thought his death would set me free, but I'd never truly understood what it meant to have all my freedoms stripped away. Until that day, I'd been living in a child's fantasy.Then, my brother sells me, and I don't have the luxury of being a child anymore. I'm taken to Vicente Rodríguez's estate, to be kept as his plaything. When I'm old enough, he'll claim my innocence.My only reprieve from my hellish reality is in the strained companionship I share with his son, Adrián. Sometimes, I think he hates me. He can be cold and cruel, his burning green eyes glowering when he looks at me. But the longer I'm trapped in his home, the more heated those looks become, and not just with hatred. They make something burn within me, too. My innocence is no longer mine to give, but Adrián might be the first one to claim it for himself.Note: Stolen Innocence is the prequel to Stealing Beauty.
