FIRST TAKE What would you do if you could not have the one woman that you have always desired? Henry Santos had been estranged from his family for years, unable to reconcile his inappropriate feelings for his mother and his disdain for his dying father. After a pleading phone call, Henry reluctantly returned with twin captives in tow. Caught in a whirlwind of emotions, he must navigate his twisted relationship with his mother while saying goodbye to the only role model he had ever known and continuing his legacy of pain and dominance. DOUBLE TAKE It was just another ordinary day for twin sisters, Hope and Faith, full of back biting and bickering. That was until he showed up. Tall, dark and mysterious, he seemed innocent enough at first. But all their hope had vanished when the girls found themselves in his cellar. They lost their faith when he decided to toy with them, pitting them against each other. There was only one way out, and only one of them would survive. They both had a choice to make, love and loyalty, or self-preservation. TAKE THREE Despite Henry's abuse, Faith had etched out a meek existence. One that she was unwilling to give up. When Henry announced his depraved plans for their daughter, Charity, and brought home new toys, she knew that she couldn't sit idly by. But could she risk her own safety for that of her daughter's? Lucian loved his sister and would do anything to protect her from their father. Even if it meant going against the only role model he had ever known. Seeing that his mother refused to act on her behalf, Lucian took it upon himself to follow in his father's footsteps and remove the obstacle that stood in the way of his own desires.
