Emmy Lou Rhodes was mine, but she didn’t want anyone to know. She kept me a dirty secret, locked up like a caged animal so that no one would discover what we had done. I’m a man with demons who demand for me to heed caution. Yet I didn’t yield when I had the perfect opportunity to swallow her whole. I was her dirty little secret. She was my everything. But then she gave someone what I always wanted, her life, and then she destroyed me all in one night. Kace Bishop is a man I fell in love with when I knew better. He could never love a girl like me. Overbearing, opinionated, and, sure-shit, not going to take crap with the men I work with. I warned myself it wasn’t a good idea, but when he asked, I left without caring how hard I’d fall. He couldn’t give me what I needed. So I moved on and made the worse mistake of my life. I always thought Bishop would destroy me. Turns out, I’m the villain in this story.
