ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 24, 2020
“There was a monster once. A monster who bought me, controlled me, and took away my freedom.
There was a man once. A man who dealt in myth and secrets, hiding behind his mask, making me hunger and wish to know the truth.”
Eleanor Grace belongs to the man and the monster, hating them both but unable to deny that something links them. Something she doesn’t want to feel, something that traps her as surely as the sea surrounding the island where she serves.
Sully Sinclair belongs to his past and the black and white script his life has become. He views his goddesses as commodities—possessions to be treated kindly but firmly. The only problem is…Eleanor is different.
She’s jinxed him.
Cursed him.
Awakened him.
She’s a goddess with the power to ruin him.

REVIEW:TWICE A WISH is the second instalment in Pepper Winters’ contemporary, adult GODDESS ISLES dark, erotic romance series focusing on billionaire Sullivan Sinclair, and his captive Eleanor ‘Jinx’ Grace. The GODDESS ISLES series is set in the same world as the author’s MONSTERS IN THE DARK and the INDEBTED series. TWICE A WISH should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one ONCE A MYTH.
WARNING: Due to the nature and dark content of the story line premise, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.
SOME BACKGROUND: At twenty-one years old, Eleanor Grace was kidnapped, violated and drugged on her way to becoming a sexual slave. A prisoner in a gilded cage, Eleanor, along with several other girls, are either the willing sexual partner in a fantasy island paradise, or find themselves forced into a lifetime of suffering and pain. Purchased by billionaire Sullivan Sinclair, Eleanor is defiant to the end but a defiance that will come with a price. Four years a slave, Eleanor is about to discover that all is not well on the island paradise or with the man who now dominates and governs every aspect of her life.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Sullivan and Eleanor) TWICE A WISH focuses on the continuing turmoil that has become Eleanor Grace’s life. Billionaire and pharmaceutical magnet Sullivan Sinclair owns several islands in the south Pacific but his goddesses, as he likes to call his sexual slaves, live, work and reside on the Goddess Isles. Owning and operating a fantasy island for the uber rich, Sullivan Sinclair ‘procures’ his goddesses through kidnapping and sexual slavery, and in doing so he believes the women he ‘rescues’ are nothing more than prisoners in a gilded cage but Eleanor Grace draws Sullivan Sinclair like a moth to a flame, a flame that is not once, but twice, forced into doing what she has never done before.
TWICE A WISH reveals some of the heart breaking background and history of the man we have come to know as Sullivan Sinclair. The demons of his past drive his present, but with money and power Sinclair turns the tables in an effort to control and punish the people who represent everything wrong in his life.
A dark, gritty, raw and intense read TWICE A WISH, like many of Pepper’s previous releases follows a Stockholm Syndrome premise wherein our heroine will quickly fall for her captor, a man who may be more damaged than anyone could have imagined. The premise is controversial, creative and dramatic; the characters are broken but strong, tragic and colorful; the romance is mired by dubious consent, slavery, ownership and unnatural lust.

The most ruffled I’d ever seen him.
He was no longer cold-blooded, standing in the tropics without any sign of discomfort. He vibrated with ferocity, boiling with need and fury.
Our gazes locked and whatever minor dregs of dignity and energy I had left siphoned into the ground. My toes grew roots, anchoring me in place. My legs became bark, brittle and unable to bend. I planted myself into the soil, seeking purchase to weather another storm…the storm of Sullivan’s temper.
I didn’t know how this would go.
I didn’t know if I’d be alive after it.
But…I would be brave.
I would not break.
I squared my shoulders and waited.
Without a word, he stepped toward me.
