Blurb
In
a world without choices, one woman will find herself caught in the
middle of six men and the emotions they develop for her.
Krista
Damiani
is one of the last
women on Earth, and her patriotic duty is to make babies. On her
twenty-first birthday, the government holds a lottery drawing to
determine the men who will control her destiny. Her “six”, the
men who win the right to call her their own, know they have to
impregnate her quickly or risk losing her to a new “six”.
As
society fills with additional violence and unrest, her men keep her
sheltered in a fortress of maximum security. When a mysterious man
arrives and offers her the chance for freedom, will she be willing to
leave the life she knows behind or will she remain “given”?
Warning:
This title is intended for readers over the age of 18 as it contains
explicit sex scenes and/or situations (including voyeurism, multiple
partners, ménage and anal sex) and adult language which may be

Excerpt
They
left her alone. She sat down on the bed and air whooshed from her
lungs as she sat in a state of nervous anticipation. Oh
God, who should I pick?
She couldn’t help wondering. Choosing felt so very wrong to her.
She may belong to these men for a long time, and the idea of
alienating any of them, or getting off on a bad start, twisted her
stomach in knots of nervous anxiety. She stood up and unpacked her
few belongings. The closet looked so empty after she’d put her
scant possessions into it. She began walking down the stairs and she
heard their voices. Krista paused to listen, feeling a bit evil for
eavesdropping.
“It’s
only right that she pick.”
“We’ve
all waited so long, shouldn’t we draw straws or something?”
“For
God’s sake, she’s a human being, not a new toy. Let the girl have
her pick. We’ll all have a chance.”
“What
if we all share her tonight? Then it’s fair to all of us.”
“It
wouldn’t be fair to Krista. If she was your new bride, would you
want to pass her around to five other guys?”
“There’s
no more marriage, so the question isn’t valid. The world isn’t
nice and romantic. The fact is, she’ll have to sleep with all of
us.”
“For
tonight, let her have some peace. I say no one should touch her.”
“Are
you fucking kidding? Hell no, she picks at least one of us and that’s
final!”
“Shh,
she’ll hear you.”
“It’s
not like it’ll hurt her the first time, they have their cherries
popped by the doctor. I say we ask. She seems understanding.”
She’d
heard enough. She finished walking down the stairs, one squeaked.
They all turned, giving her guilty looks.
“Yes,
I heard. I was thinking about the same thing. I don’t know if I can
pick. I don’t want to cause infighting here, and I don’t want
anyone to feel hurt. I don’t know what to do,” she finished
miserably.
“We
won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do, but you
should sleep with at least one of us tonight,” Damon said.
“If
you want to pick more than one, that’s okay too,” DeAnthony
amended. Krista blushed.
