About the Book
Raised in a world of money and secrets, the narrator’s family is torn apart by tragedy, and the Lords — a powerful, blood-bound secret society — offer her a way out through Easton Bradley Sinnett, known as Sin. He saves her, but nothing from the Lords comes free. The Sinner is Book 2 in Shantel Tessier’s L.O.R.D.S. series, a dark college romance about obsession, power, and a love that costs everything.
