Cruel Promise

"You shouldn't have put yourself back on my radar, princess..."

He's right. I shouldn’t have kept watching.

I was only 16, but every time I was around my best friend’s older brother, I lost control of my senses.

Tempest Callahan.

Sea glass eyes. Sculpted, marble body. And a crooked, ruthless grin.

Then I witnessed something I shouldn’t have.

I stood frozen in place instead of running for my life.

Four years without him should have cured me, but when he sneaks up on me at my freshman orientation, I’m done for.

Again.

I can’t resist his touch or how he makes me feel.

Then his loyalty is tested, and he’s forced to make a choice that could cost us both everything. Stupidly, I thought he'd make the right one.

I knew he was a bad guy. I saw it with my own eyes.

But I never believed how twisted he’d become.
