I have them all now. Just the way I want them.
McKay, the one who loves me deepest.
Adam, the one who protects me fiercely.
Donovan, the one who tells the truth.
They are my friends, they are my lovers, they are my world.
And Maggie belongs to all of us—no matter who her father is.
This is the family I’ve always wanted.
This is the family I deserve.
And I will do whatever it takes to keep them.
McKAY
I have a secret that could ruin everything.
But I’m not keeping that secret to hurt her.

ADAM
I made plan that could ruin everything.
But I did it to save us in the end.
The Company needed to come back.
DONOVAN
I told a lie that could ruin everything.
But I didn’t tell the lie to them—I told it to myself.
Carter is closer than we think.
There is
something truly wrong at Boucher House on the Old Pearl River.

Excerpt
ADAM
She holds my hand as we walk, squeezing it a little. It feels natural,
but then again, weird.

This girl—woman, now, I suppose—she has been off limits to me for so
long. It’s really hard to get that out of my head. And sometimes, when I look
at Maggie, I see Indie.

at Maggie, I see Indie.
It’s just… weird.
Indie doesn’t lead me to the front porch. She takes me around the side.
“Where are we going?”
“Where are we going?”
“To spy on them, of course.”
“Ahh, I don’t know.”
She stops us on the side of the house in front of the office window.
“Stop being a baby. Don’t you want to be with McKay?”
“Stop being a baby. Don’t you want to be with McKay?”
And this is weird too. Since when do I talk about my feelings with Indie?
With anyone, actually?
With anyone, actually?
“You’re really trying hard to find an excuse, aren’t you?”
“I’m not.” It comes out defensive. “Of course I love McKay. Of course I
want to be with him.”

“So what’s the problem?”
I hesitate. She just shakes her head at me and drops my hand. “Fine. Then
stay here. I’ll spy.”
stay here. I’ll spy.”
She turns away and continues walking along the side of the house, then
looks over her shoulder one last time before she disappears around the corner.

I jog to catch up.
Fuck it.
When I round the corner, Indie has her face pressed against the glass of
the family room window. The only lights on inside are the ones under the
kitchen cabinets. So it’s a low light. A soft glow of yellow But it’s more than
enough to see them.

Donovan and McKay are kissing.
I exhale and then heat fills me up. And I don’t remember breathing, but I
exhale again. And then again. My chest rising and falling as emotions flood
into my bloodstream.

“It’s kinda hot,” Indie whispers.
I have to agree. It kinda is. But it’s a lot of other things too.
They are both shirtless. And I’m not gonna lie, Donovan is just as nice
to look at as McKay.
to look at as McKay.
That’s not the only reason it’s hot though. This looks like a real
fucking kiss. McKay is even kissing him back. And then Donovan’s hand slips
down McKay’s chest, then down his ridiculous sixty-four-pack abs and rests on
the waistband of his jeans.

Indie sucks in a little breath of surprise. “Damn. I didn’t think they’d…
ooohh. Wow.”
ooohh. Wow.”
Donovan is gripping McKay’s cock through his jeans. And McKay pulls out
of the kiss. I have a moment of hope that he’ll push Donovan away. McKay looks
down at Donovan’s hand as Donovan grips his cock and begins massaging his hand
over his groin area.

But McKay doesn’t push him away. He closes his eyes and leans back
against the counter. Practically giving Donovan permission to do whatever he
wants.

MY REVIEW:
Loved every minute of this terrific follow up to the first outstanding book. This one flipped the script and flipped me out as the dead are not really dead and the guys and girls come back together. These characters are just insane! One, in particular, is really crazy. The wonderfully twisted Indie with her band of merry men. It takes a crazy village of insanely hot men to keep Indie from her default mode of destruction. And what a group of men. I happen to love McKay the most. Dreamy! Every time you think you know what’s going on another twist happens. It’s a madcap adventure of twisted games, thrilling intrigue, bloody suspense, and crazy killers as the Company makes a comeback just when you think it’s ended. But who’s in charge now? As the fractured factions of genetic engineering fight for control and someone is breeding little blond killers, Old Home’s inhabitants come back together in a spectacular fashion with a new pairing…well lots of pairings and couplings and arms and legs and lips…you get the picture. Hotness! Plus the dead are not really dead with those pesky doubles and plastic surgery. Excellent storytelling and creative characters kept me thoroughly engaged and flipping the pages. So good! This is my kind of inventive, one-of-a-kind series and I hope this crazy world this wonderful author has created will spawn (I had to go there 🙂 more stories. I was left with questions! Do we get Donovan or Carter? Where are the triplets? And what happened to Aiden? More please!
