These Absolved Monsters

Seven minutes in Heaven... enough to create Hell. MIRA
He was my best friend's brother.
I was the third unofficial Draven child they didn't ask for.
Burton Draven was off limits in more ways than forbidden could spell.
One night stuck together at a Halloween carnival turned into a match that wouldn't go out no matter how hard you blew.
That kiss of death sealed my fate when he made it his life mission to destroy me for it.
Losing my scholarship, paying penance for his blackmail, making sure no one dared to touch me and watching from a distance to make sure I stayed miserable.
Until I got my own revenge...
Now the torture was really about to begin. BURTON
She was my sister's best friend.
Mira Eckland was beneath me, yet when she kissed me, something inside kicked up into a hellfire I couldn't ignore.
I wanted more of what I couldn't have without ruining the one person's trust I cared about. My baby sister was the last person I cared about in this world.
I was a man on fire-angry I couldn't have her and hellbent on ruining her for anyone else.
Retaliation was easy when she stopped trying to fight back against the money and power protecting me. After she gave up, I watched her destroy herself.
Until I found out she was to blame...
Now that fire burning inside me was going to create her own personal hell.
