Chaotic

The Lords are a secret society where power flows through blood and obedience.

The Lords are a secret society where power flows through blood and obedience. Members survive three brutal initiation trials to earn their brand. Each receives a 'chosen'—a woman assigned for his use—before marrying a Lady to serve him for life. If he dies, his Lady is regifted to another Lord. Spade brothers are the society's enforcers and executioners, feared even among their own. A founder is a woman of special status; should she fail her initiation assignment, she is sentenced to life as a breeder. In this world, women exist to serve, and the powerful answer to no one but each other.

A hallucinogen, a yacht, and a girl Kashton can never forget

Over four years at Barrington University, Kashton endures the Spade brothers' initiations. Freshman year: his father starves him in a cell, then forces him to kill a man in an arena. Sophomore year: a hallucinogen makes him watch his brothers and their friend Ashtyn murdered, then his father hands him a revolver with one bullet and a dare. Kashton fires into the wall. Junior year: aboard a mega yacht, he rescues a stunning blonde named Eve from a Lord who purchased her for sex—killing the man and sharing an intimate encounter before she vanishes without a trace. He searches the yacht and spends six years haunted by her face. Senior year, Kashton is branded alongside his three brothers—Haidyn, Saint, and Adam—becoming an official Spade brother and Lord.

Eve grows up caged while Spade fathers trade her body like currency

Everett—called Eve—never leaves Carnage. Her biological father, Garrett, also Haidyn's father, imprisons her and allows the other Spade fathers to rape her starting at fourteen, hoping to produce children. A woman named Laura administers fertility drugs and oversees sedated medical procedures. Eve's only solace is an imaginary friend—a pretty blonde girl no one else can see. At eighteen, a pregnancy test returns positive. Garrett threatens unspeakable things to any child she carries. Desperate, Eve deliberately crashes the car transporting her, hoping to die with her baby. She survives. The baby, she's told, does not. Garrett punishes her with a hysterectomy and sells her to Dollhouse, where her half-brother Evan spends a year training her as a sex slave until a Lord named Bill pays to rescue her.

Kashton finds his vanished girl stitching wounds at a cathedral Six years after the yacht, Kashton and Haidyn arrive at a cathedral to collect a Lord sentenced by the society. A blonde woman kneels over the beaten man's body, threading a needle through his skin with surgical calm before sealing duct tape over his mouth with a blowtorch.…
