Joseph and Ashley are perfect together. They’ve been inseparable since they were kids, and their love has never wavered. But every great romance has its obstacles: she’s engaged to another man, he’s got his head in the clouds, and they happen to be brother and sister. In WORDS, RAZORS, AND THE WOUNDED HEART, home is a battleground, the only true love is forbidden, and when someone screws you over, you don’t get mad — you get homicidal.
