Brian and Mina's Holiday Hits

Brian Sloane is a pure psychopathic monster … to everyone but Mina. She was looking for a good man to scratch a particular itch but instead ended up bought by the violent enforcer of a submissive training house. Against all odds, the villain became her hero. She was the light to his dark until the lights went out, and the darkness inside her came out to play.

Once upon a time, a girl was saved by a monster that lived in a dungeon. That girl was me. Now my monster's been taken by my worst nightmare. I should be scared. But all I want is revenge. Note: This is the first dark contemporary novella in a series of 5 episodic stand-alone stories about Brian and Mina, a couple from the Pleasure House world. Their origin story can be listened to in Broken Dolls by Kitty Thomas. (Book 2 of the Pleasure House, which can be listened to as a stand alone.)

Mina, my dark phoenix rising from the ashes, the goddess returning from her descent into the underworld. I will kill anyone who dares to threaten her. But what if I’m the one who breaks her this time? What if I become her angel of death?

"I turn slowly toward her, and that thin frail hope that I’d held onto… the hope that I could sate the demon raging within me and cool off my simmering rage by hacking up Gregor… that I could spare Mina my evil tonight… that hope is gone. What will I do when I catch this little rabbit?" The events of Halloween haunt me. I can't get them out of my head. I wanted to remove Mina from this world. But it wasn’t me… I don’t want her gone. I’m not some crazed jealous abusive boyfriend. I wasn’t mad at her. I know she did nothing wrong. It was the wild in me. The dark in me.

What is Brian hiding from me? What terrible truth do I not know? The ominous warning of The Tower hangs between us, threatening to topple us to our doom. I look for the answers behind the veil, asking fate to spill forth its secrets so that I can somehow save us before it’s too late. And yet the sands keep falling through the hourglass as time races faster and faster, pushing us to our certain end. This is the FINAL novella in Brian and Mina's Holiday Hits. This series is complete.
