R - 501/1 | Wife (Betrothed #1) by Penelope Sky

I was twenty-one when the gypsy read my future:

As punishment for your crimes, you will only love one woman...but she'll never love you back.

I didn't believe a word of it.

Until I met Sofia Romano almost ten years later.

I fell hard for this woman. Would die for this woman.

But she left me.

Now years have passed and Sofia needs a husband. Her father is gone and her mother is trying to marry her off to a man that can protect their family, protect their company.

She's looking for someone powerful.

Check.

Someone rich.

Check.

Someone handsome.

Double check.

Now it's my chance to have the only woman I've ever loved...and I'll make sure she feels the same way.

I have a lifetime to make that happen.

R - 501/2 | Husband (Betrothed #2) by Penelope Sky

Two years of bitter loneliness have passed. The woman I love is now the woman I hate. I lose myself in beautiful women every night and tell myself that fortune reading was nothing but a scam.

But then her mother asks me to marry her.

I say yes.

Now this woman will be mine forever.

Maybe the prophecy really is true. I’m committing to a woman that will never love me in return.

But it was better to be her husband than allow someone else to take my place. It was better to conquer her body every night than be lonely with someone else.

Much better.

R - 501/3 | Lover (Betrothed #3) by Penelope Sky

I lost the only thing that matters to me.

My wife.

And I’m the only one to blame.

I will sacrifice my life, my pride, and everything else for the woman I love.

Whether she loves me or not.

R - 501/4 | Committed (Betrothed #4) by Penelope Sky

I never broke the curse...I just changed it.

Now I’m forced into a partnership with Maddox, and since I can’t kill him, I have to tolerate him every day.

So Sofia leaves me.

I’ve sacrificed everything for her, but it’s never enough. My love for her doesn't change despite the betrayal. The torture continues.

What am I gonna do?

I have one option. I said no the first time, but I’m not sure I can say no again...

R - 501/5 | First (Betrothed #5) by Penelope Sky

Hades retired from the business.

Now it’s just me.

Look at me now...bitter...angry...depressed. I resent my former friend so much, even hate the guy, but I’ve never been the same since he refused to forgive me.

I meet a woman. She’s like all the others...beautiful, interesting, good at the fun stuff, but I don’t feel anything.

One woman will love you for you, not your money or your power, but you’ll lose her. And once she’s gone...she’s gone.

That gypsy wasn’t right about me too, right?

I’ve got trouble on my doorstep when the new Skull King shows up. He wants a cut of my business.

Like he’s getting anything. This is all I have left.

Once again I become swallowed by the underworld.

Will I survive it?

R - 501/6 | Second (Betrothed #6) by Penelope Sky

She’s gone.

But the fortune can’t be true because she means nothing to me.

Nothing at all.

But the doubt starts to creep in. My thoughts only focus on one thing. The other women no longer satisfy me.

It starts to drive me crazy.

When I finally confront her, the horror shatters me.

She’s marrying someone else.

R - 501/7 | Forever (Betrothed #7) by Penelope Sky

She’s mine once again but she’s practically a ghost.

She’s just using me...not that I mind.

But her indifference is suffocating. I mean nothing to her...less than what she used to mean to me. Admissions of regret and apologies aren’t enough to fix it.

I have to return to the gypsy...and hope for the best.

R - 501/8 | Lie (Betrothed #8) by Penelope Sky

Why did I let her go?

I can't answer that. How do you expect me to answer that when I don't even know?

When I see her at the bar six weeks later, she's still the feisty handful that I remember. She owns the room in that tight dress and that fire. Now that she's not dirty in a locked cage...she's stunning.

She cleans up good.

I decide to say hello...and see what happens.

R - 501/9 | Secret (Betrothed #9) by Penelope Sky

She saved my life.

She promised she wouldn't intervene, that her loyalty was to her family, not me. But she did it anyway.

Now everything is different. I can feel it with every kiss, every time she's underneath me. This isn't a meaningless fling anymore.

It's so much more.

I know it...and she knows it.
