Wretched

Once Upon A Time,

there was a wicked girl.

She lost everything that mattered,

causing darkness to unfurl.

Impulsive and intelligent,

she helped her family name grow strong.

But then one day a man without a heart came along.

An undercover agent, meant to spy and bring back tips.

Following down her hidden path of faded yellow bricks.

She hated him, he wanted her;

she was too good to be true.

But a woman can be great …

and terrible too.

Wretched is a dark, contemporary romance (not fantasy or a retelling) and the third complete standalone in The Never After Series: a collection of fractured fairy tales inspired by our favorite villains. It features mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all readers. Listener discretion is advised.
