“I own you. I have the piece of paper to prove it. It’s
undeniable and unbreakable. You belong to me until you’ve paid off your debts.”
Nila Weaver’s family is
indebted. Being the first born daughter, her life is forfeit to the first born
son of the Hawks to pay for sins of ancestors past. The dark ages might have
come and gone, but debts never leave. She has no choice in the matter.
She is no longer free.
Jethro Hawk receives Nila
as an inheritance present on his twenty-ninth birthday. Her life is his until
she’s paid off a debt that’s centuries old. He can do what he likes with
her—nothing is out of bounds—she has to obey.
There are no rules. Only
payments.
A modern day Dark Erotic
Romance
Excerpt:
Debt Inheritance: Meet Jethro & Nina
ONE - Nina's POV
“Huge disappointment, Ms. Weaver.” His cold glare sent a snowstorm
wiping away the bonfire in my belly. “I’m done playing games, so cut the
bullshit. Time to begin the day.” His voice gave no room for interpretation. A
cold draft shot down my back.
My brief reprieve from
debts and horrible Hawks was over. I’d been shown something I desperately
wanted, but denied it because I failed to please him.
“You could teach me…show me
how…” I couldn’t make eye contact with him. Mortification painted my cheeks for
both admitting I was clueless and asking a monster to coach me.
Jethro laughed. “You think that will save
you from what’s coming? Was that your little plan? To make me fuck you in the
hopes I might feel something for
you?”
TWO - Jethro's POV
I stood up slowly, clicking
my tongue. “Ah, ah, ah, Ms. Weaver. Don’t take that tone with me. You’re the
failure. You’re the prisoner. You
take what I give you. You do not assume to have any say or authority. That
includes listening to everything I deem important to tell you.” Ghosting to a
stop in front of her, I murmured, “Is that quite understood?”
I flexed my muscles,
welcoming back the soothing chillness of control. I hadn’t liked stepping
outside my confines of civility. Things got messy when silence was disrupted.
Things got rushed when tempers rose and curses flowed.
And I didn’t want to rush
her undoing. I wanted to savour it. Devour it.

♔REVIEW♔
I am a big fan of Pepper's books so I was eager to get my hands on this one. I was also jonesing to read it because from the teasers I had no idea how it was going to be. I knew that it was suppose to be dark, but the premise of it sounded like nothing I've read before, inheriting a person like one would property. I've read slave and human trafficking stories before but never such formal slave inheritance.
Nina is a high end clothing designer. Although rich and famous in her own right, she is a Weaver, a wealthy, well-known, glamorous family. Capable of having the world at her fingertips, she only concerns herself with her three loves: her twin brother, her father and her sewing.
Jethro is heir to the Hawk family throne. The Hawk's are basically a love-less royalty, a machine. They have strict codes and rules that must be followed no matter what.
I'm a Hawk but blood doesn't flow in my veins. I'm born of a substance unbeatable by any other—diamonds. I'm a smuggler. I'm a dealer. And I'm about to become...a killer.
The ancient customs declare that the firstborn Hawk son must take ownership of the firstborn Weaver daughter in repayment for a debt spanning the generations.
I truly was Cinderella, only my prince threw away the glass slipper and stole me away before midnight struck. My prince was evil. My prince was the villain.
I couldn't breathe.
This is just the first installment of the Indebted series so many questions go unanswered. Several clues have been given. Many details and hints have been dropped, but it's hard to tell where the story is going to take us. I believe the jobs of the families, their last names, the bird artwork, extended talk of different jewels, all of this and several other things have significant meaning. Anyone that knows me knows that I love trying to figure out symbolism and hidden meanings. I just don't know the direction where Pepper is headed with it.
There is definitely chemistry between Jethro and Nina. This book left me wanting to read more in major way. I cannot wait to continue with these two and their families.
