Bound

"To know the truth of our story." Everything in life has a price. Nothing is ever freely gifted. The universe always comes, whether in the brightest, cheek-aching second of the day or the darkest, most plaintive hour of the night, to collect its payment. To rattle and shake your world. To slither into the illusion of Eden painted by strokes of lies and deceit. And I had left the door open for it, welcoming the thief into my house to steal what was dearest to me. Even if I had done every unthinkable, irrational, detestable thing to prevent it. To fight the inevitable loss of the base mistake I had made. The princess that was never supposed to be mine. The deception that had slowly bled darkness into my soul. Eating away at the back of my mind in a cackling mockery. Throttling my throat with the words I had chosen not to speak. Because the love I had found, the one I had never expected, never foreseen, was a tale I had woven full of lies to keep. There was always a price. For everyone, in everything. Innocent and guilty alike. And now I'd learned mine. But what would theirs be? Contains mature themes.

About the Author :
R. Phillips loves to write romance stories full of angst, plot twists, and a generous sprinkling of salacious scenes. Playing with timelines is one of her favorite things to do in her writing along with including a dash of mythology. She's also a big fan of leaving your jaw on the floor. Rachael is a native Texan, reader first, and frequently imagines her book scenes to songs. She is a lover of coffee, tex-mex, and is probably too particular when it comes to her choice in red wine. She credits any success to the long line of strong women she comes from who gave her a steely spine, taught her to know her mind, and to always rise. Victoria Connolly is an experienced audiobook narrator working from her home studio in Spokane, Washington. Her favorite genres to narrate (and read) are romance and fantasy. A lifelong performer, Victoria has a love for acting and music that began in community theater. As a narrator, she plays an array of roles she never dreamed of. After ten years of working in retail management and (still) raising two sweet children, Victoria is incredibly grateful to cultivate her passion for acting again. To keep her acting skills sharp, Victoria meets regularly with top industry coaches. She takes every opportunity to stretch her performance abilities, attending improv classes at a local comedy club, attending narration workshops, and taking accent lessons. When not recording audiobooks, Victoria is connecting with book lovers on Instagram and planning her next travel adventure. Tyler Darby is an in-demand narrator with a background in film and stage acting.
