I don’t know how it happened.

One moment I was standing outside the diner fumbling with my car keys, and the next a bag was placed over my head and I was put in the back of a car.

Who would want to kidnap me? I’m a nobody, a good girl, just doing my best to make ends meet.

Afraid for my life, I beg and plead until I come face-to-face with my captor.

Ace is a brute of a man with strong hands, green eyes, and a dark smile that makes me weak in the knees. Everything about him screams DANGER.

It’s all kinds of wrong to look at him and get swoony, but I can’t help it.

When I find out the reason I was taken I’m certain he’ll kill me. But when he kisses me instead I know he’s never letting me go, and that’s almost as terrifying as death.

Six years ago, I made a mistake. The worst mistake I could have ever possibly made. I fell in love with the wrong person and … I told him.

Ryan’s always been with me ever since I can remember. It’s been the two of us—side by side. Through every new beginning, every new ‘family’, and every failure. Is it any wonder that the love I had for him turned into something different—something deeper? Something utterly rotten? And is it any wonder that he hates me for it now?

Ryan

I’m a damaged soul, and she’s the only thing that’s ever held me together. But the one woman I want is the one woman I can never have.

She thinks I hate her for her confession, and maybe a part of me does. What I hate more, though, is that I have to push her away to keep her safe. That I have to pretend like I don’t f**king want her when she’s all I’ve been able to think about for the last six years.

We’re no f**king Romeo and Juliet. We’re much worse than that. A love like ours was doomed from the start.
