A former prom queen bully returns to her hometown only to become entangled in a steamy game of revenge and redemption with the four boys–now dangerously attractive men–she used to torment in the first of Harley Laroux’s infamously dark, sexy, queer, why-choose duology – perfect for readers of Sadie Kincaid, LJ Shen, and Eva Ashwood.
NOW A DELUXE LIMITED EDITION paperback with foiled cover, stenciled edges, and two-sided tip-in fan art!
I was supposed to have it all.
I’d been Prom Queen, Cheer Captain - high school’s most savage Queen Bee. I could have everything I wanted.
Except them. The freaks, the weirdos, the school’s ultimate losers: Manson, Jason, Lucas, and Vincent. Our hatred for each other couldn’t keep us apart, not even when my own mistake got Manson expelled and made me the ultimate villain to the rest of them.
One night was supposed to be enough.
I couldn’t resist forever. For one night I gave myself over to the men I wasn’t supposed to want and satisfied the darkest parts of my soul. But some things are meant to stay in the dark. One night, and it was over.
Nothing more than a game.
Now, with college behind me, our worlds collide yet again. Four men, all willing to share me as their plaything until my debt to them is paid. Another game to satiate my dark cravings, the twisted rules of which bring us all even closer than before. But games aren’t meant to last.
When the debt is paid and the game is done, what if I don’t want to walk away?
Praise for Harley Laroux:
"Haunting and lyrical, House of Rayne is a beautiful gothic romance that will grip you by the throat and never let you go." —Emily Rath, New York Times bestselling author
"I don't know what Harley LaRoux puts in their books, but I inhale it like desperately needed oxygen, and it fills my heart to the brim." —Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author on Her Soul to Take
“Her Soul to Take is an occult rom-com filled with supernatural hijinks. Leon and Rae’s dynamic is unique and entertaining…The author knows how to have fun with their demonically creative premise.” —Destructoid
“Her Soul To Take is a great steamy paranormal romance, and was quite well written…The banter between Leon and Rae is great, they have an undeniable chemistry and snark with each other.” —Lore of the Books
