by Sarah Bailey
I’d made the kids a mild curry because none of them could take spice yet, but they all enjoyed the variety of meals we prepared for them. I spooned up a little portion and Raphael blew on it before I fed him. Eric watched us with love and affection in his eyes. Shit, I really loved my men so much and my babies. They meant the world to me.
I watched my family tuck into the dinner I’d made for them. Xav sat with Duke in his lap, the two of them wolfing down their meals. Eric was beside me and Raphael, making sure to serve me up a plate alongside his. My mum still had Cole, but Rory was hovering next to her with his own plate. Viktor had sat down and Aurora had joined him, the two of them having a conversation about school. And Quinn sat next to her, staring down at his daughter with so much love, it threatened to make my heart burst.
Here we all were, my family, celebrating my dad’s birthday together. And I really couldn’t ask for more. My soul felt content and complete. My heart was on fire. I had the love of my men and my babies along with my parents. Nothing in the world could be better than this feeling.
Looking back at the years we’d spent together, our love had only grown. With each baby who’d come along, our bond had only become stronger. The nine of us were a solid family unit who’d stay together no matter what. Having kids had been our biggest challenge yet, and we were surviving it the only way we knew how. By sticking together as one.
As unorthodox as our quintet was, we worked so well because of the love and determination we shared. And as the boys looked up at me, their affection shining in their eyes, I knew I’d found my place and my home in the world.
It was here with Quinn, Xavier, Eric and Rory.
My heart. My soul. My entire being belonged to them.
And theirs belonged to me too.

It tore us apart even as we fought to stay together.

He lied.
Aaron Jackson Parrish should have been my fairy tale love story. But not all fairy tales have a happy ending. And ours had the most unforgiving ending of all.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this book. I really appreciate all of my readers and hope this book gave you as much joy reading it as I did writing it.
Thank you to my partner in writing crime, Sab. I could gush over our friendship all day and how much you support me. This last book would not exist without your badgering me into getting it written. You made sure I gave our quintet a satisfying ending and for that, I’m forever grateful. Thank you for always standing by me and my crazy ideas!
To Elle – honestly, I’m so grateful we met online. The constant support we give each other has been such an integral part of my author journey. From bouncing ideas off each other to discussing cover art, there’s never a dull day. Thank you for everything!
To my wonderful readers, thank you for following me down this path into a dark reverse harem unlike anything I’ve ever written before. It’s been quite the journey and I appreciate all your support and love for my books so, so much!
To my friends and family who have always supported me no matter what. Thank you for being here for me.
And finally, to my husband who is my everything. Thank you for supporting me through this crazy author journey and allowing me the freedom to write. I love you to the stars and back.
