Masquerade: a prequel short to The Rental series (#0.5)

Nineteen-year-old Rick Delaney is at a masquerade party when temptation dangles in front of his eyes in the form of fifteen-year-old Vee Wyland. Not only is she too young for him, but she's too pure to taint with his wild ways and--worst of all--the crush of his reckless younger brother's eyes.

Beneath their masks burns a fiery hunger for each other; however, it's a desire they must quell. Their situations are fraught with risk. But age isn't the only obstacle. Dark secrets brew between their ongoing game of masquerades. And it might just spell the end before they get a proper beginning.

*** This book doesn't contain underage sex, but it is sexually explicit. It is a short prequel and can be read before or after the first book in The Rental series. ***
