Black Thorns (Thorns Duet #2) by Rina Kent

“What?”

She takes my hand and places it on her stomach. “I’m pregnant.”

“You…are?”

“Yeah. Six weeks.”

I sit up, taking her with me, and she wraps her arms around my neck. We agreed that we wouldn’t have kids as soon as we got married so that we could make up for all the time we wasted.

But a few months back, Naomi went off birth control and has been upset whenever she gets her period.

Looks like she didn’t this time.

And I knew it, but I didn’t want to spoil her fun.

“We’re going to be parents, Sebastian. Isn’t that scary and exciting, but still scary?”

“Like us, you mean.”

“Just like us.” She kisses my cheek. “Thank you for being with me. Don’t ever leave me, okay?”

“You’ll never get rid of me, baby.”

We’re in this together and we will always be.

I’m her monster and she’s my willing prey.

About the Author





Rina Kent is an international bestselling author of everything enemies to lovers romance.

Darkness is her playground, suspense is her best friend, and twists are her brain’s food. However, she likes to think she’s a romantic at heart in some way, so don’t kill her hopes just yet.

Her heroes are anti-heroes and villains because she was always the weirdo who fell in love with the guys no one roots for. Her books are sprinkled with a touch of mystery, a healthy dose of angst, a pinch of violence, and lots of intense passion.

Rina spends her private days in a peaceful town in North Africa daydreaming about the next plot idea or laughing like an evil mastermind when those ideas come together.
