Tangled Love by Haley Jenner
Series: Chaotic Rein #1
Publication date: April 13th, 2018
Synopsis (according to Goodreads):
Codi Rein is a means to an end. A bloody and vengeful penance for wrong doing. She was our way to inflict pain and suffering on those who took away what was most important to us.
She was supposed to be a no one. Insignificant.
She wasn't supposed to make me smile.
She wasn't supposed to make me laugh.
She sure wasn't supposed to make me feel something other than hate.
She wasn't supposed to make me love her.
She was a means to an end. Now the bloody and vengeful end looks to be mine. Because it now comes down to love or loyalty and it's on me to decide what reigns absolute; heart or family.

Excerpt
The fury in her blazing eyes dares me to disagree. They challenge me to argue the fact that I'm the biggest fucking asshole to ever walk this planet. The men I so fiercely despise; my father Marcus, Dominic; their indiscretions, their flaws, the evil that lives inside them, is nothing, fucking nothing compared to the rotting soul I seem to host within my body.
I can't dispute her words. No one single spoken syllable. She gave me all of her. Every inch of her body. Every fragment of her soul. Every morsel of her mind. And every last shred of the love inside her oversized heart.
Everything.
"I'm sorry your mom died," she spits, the fury inside her eyes having claimed her completely, coursing through her veins with unrelenting control. "I'm sorry she was taken from you. I'm sorry you've let your pain manifest into hate. I'm sorry the both of you are so black inside you can't see any light when it shines down on you. I'm sorry that all your mother would feel is disappointment that the two people she spent her short life loving, turned so hateful."
Her words hit hard. They steal the breath from my lungs and cause my feet to stumble backward with the force behind them.
Because they're true.

A blonde. A brunette. A tea lover. A coffee addict. Two people. One pen name. Haley Jenner is made up of Hailey Bond and Jenna McIntyre. They're pals, besties if you will, maybe even soulmates. Consider them the ultimate in split personality, exactly the same, but completely different.
They reside on the Gold Coast in Australia's sunshine state, Queensland. They lead ultra-busy lives as working mums, but wouldn't want it any other way.
Books are a large part of their lives. Always have been and they're firm believers that reading is an essential part of living. Escaping with a good story is one of their most favorite things, even to the detriment of sleep.
They love a good laugh, a strong, dominating alpha, but most importantly, know that friendships, the fierce ones, are the key to lifelong sanity and fulfillment.
