It Hurts Me: Betrayal, Book 4

When her husband of five years demands an open marriage, Astrid's carefully constructed world doesn't just crack — it collapses entirely.

Blindsided by Bolton's betrayal, Astrid is left questioning everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and herself. One rain-soaked night on a deserted road, fate delivers something she never asked for and absolutely cannot afford — a rescue from the most dangerous man in the city. One glance at the skull ring on his finger tells her everything. Theo. The Skull King. A man whose reputation alone should send her running.

But Astrid isn't running.

In this darkly seductive fourth installment of the Betrayal series, Penelope Sky masterfully weaves together a world of billionaires, underground power, and a forbidden attraction that neither Theo nor Astrid can outrun. He is everything her soon-to-be-ex-husband isn't — commanding, intense, and devastatingly honest about exactly what he wants. The problem? What he wants is her.

The tension between them is electric, the danger is real, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Astrid came from a broken marriage — can she trust the pull she feels toward a man shrouded in darkness and crowned in criminal royalty? And as Theo's world closes in around them both, the question stops being whether they can resist each other.

The question becomes whether surviving each other is even possible.
