Paying for the Sins of My Mother
Bennett Grey has spent her entire life carrying the weight of her mother’s wounds. Raised by a woman who blurred the lines between love and control, she learned early that survival meant silence, perfection, and never needing too much. Now, as a successful but emotionally guarded woman in her early thirties, Bennett is determined to outrun the past that still whispers in the shadows of her mind.
But no matter how far she climbs in her career, how carefully she curates her life, the ghosts of her childhood remain—lingering in the voice of her mother, Michala, a woman both mesmerizing and merciless. A woman whose validation Bennett has always craved, even as it comes laced with manipulation.
When a chance encounter with the enigmatic and dangerously compelling Ellis Langston threatens to unearth the emotions she’s fought so hard to suppress, Bennett is forced to confront the scars she’s spent years hiding. Their connection is undeniable, electric—but Bennett knows better than to trust in love. After all, history has taught her that love is conditional, fleeting, and always comes at a cost.
Torn between desire and self-preservation, between the mother who made her and the man who sees through her armor, Bennett must decide if breaking free means cutting ties—or if the sins of the past are destined to shape her future.
Paying for the Sins of My Mother is a gripping, emotionally raw exploration of generational trauma, self-worth, and the complicated, unspoken bond between mothers and daughters. Fans of Kennedy Ryan, Tia Williams, and Colleen Hoover will be drawn into this deeply intimate, steamy, and thought-provoking journey of healing, passion, and redemption.
This is book one in the "The Price of the Past Series", a collection of interconnected novels exploring love, pain, and the legacies we inherit.
⚠️ Trigger This book contains themes of emotional abuse, toxic relationships, and trauma. Reader discretion is advised.
