Quietly, she fell apart – R.H. Sin READERS NOTE: This is a follow on from Dear Heart, You Screwed Me. It is strongly recommended that you read Dear Heart, You Screwed Me before The Resentment so you have a better understanding of their background story as Connie is Killian’s daughter. Please be aware that Reese is British, so there may be words or phrases that may not be used in America, which is where this book is based. Kaleb and Connie are American. This is not a grammatical error but written in the correct form from her POV. I always like my readers to go into one of my stories blind, but if you wish to check trigger warnings then please check the next page.
