My name is Jackson Reid. There are two things you need to know about me. The first — is that I'm in love with Alyssa Tanner. The second — is that I'm a murderer.
"Blame It on the Pain" is a full-length standalone novel (100,000+ words), with no cliffhanger.
Pain. It hurts us. It pushes us. It punishes us. Or, for the few poor souls out there like me... it defines us. I'm not a good person. There are no redeeming qualities about me... not anymore.
Any that I had, I'd given to the devil on the night that changed everything. The night my baby sister died. The night I murdered her killer. Yes, I've taken a life... and I would do it again in a heartbeat. And I would never, ever, have an ounce of regret for being who I am. Until her.
My name is Alyssa Tanner, but you probably know me as the whore who caused her step-father to lose the election for New York City Mayor. And you'd be right — because the day the world branded me a slut — I decided to become one.
You think you know all there is to know about me — because you've seen what I look like naked. But believe me — you haven't even cracked the surface.
What you don't know — is my past — because I've been forced to keep it a secret to ensure my safety. What you don't know is my pain. Because if you did — you'd be dead.
I bet you think you know how this story will unfold... but trust me — you really have no idea.
