I’m a woman of many talents and I use them well. I fuck ‘til my hearts content and with whoever I want. Whore, slut… yeah, that’s me. But when you’ve been through what I have? You’d understand. Being a senior at CSU isn’t exactly amazing, the work is shit and the girls are bitchy. None of them know how to let loose, they judge me, call me names and look at me like I’m worthless. At least I’m honest about who I am, those girls are just like me, they just won’t admit it. Back in my junior year I screwed with a football player, a guy so hot that your panties combust with just one look from him. My rule of never going back to the same guy twice stops me from entering that territory again. Hey, not that I really want to. Me and Dante, we hate each other. Some say we clash and are too much alike, others say we had a sour relationship. Got to love the rumour mill, right? I hate him for trying to be me; claiming to be the big player on campus but really he’s just a pawn in mine. But that doesn’t stop my head and my body from wanting him, needing him. Every woman wants him and I’m not completely immune, but I know the game and I play it fucking well. I’ll score more notches in my bed post than him, I’ll be the one laughing when he falls from his high and mighty throne. But are we a volcano ready to erupt? Are we really just two peas in the same pod? Are we fucking other people to get each other out of our system? I’m not sure I care; I just know I need distance from everything that’s Dante.

I’m a man with a troubled past. Growing up with a drug addict for a mother and trying to be both mom and dad for my little brother was hard, but I was determined to get us out of that hellhole. To make my business legit and make some real money so I could make sure he had everything he needed. I was on a one track mission, bounding ahead with tunnel vision. That was until her. Until I saw her sweet face behind the counter of the coffee shop and suddenly, I had another focus. She had an aura of sadness about her that drew me in. Her softly spoken words made me wish I could listen to her all day long. The invisible thread that connected us started getting smaller and smaller as time went on, bringing us closer than I’d ever been to anyone before. At least, I thought we were close. I had no idea that she was suffering at the hands of a monster. A monster who did everything he could to keep me from her. He ripped me away from her when she needed me most and I was powerless to fight against the law, even if I didn’t break it. Years later, after finally finding her again he turns up, the monster that haunts her memories. I won’t let him keep me away from her again and I certainly won’t let him hurt her. I’ll do anything to protect her. Torture, maim, kill. And I’ll do it all without a second thought or conscience. \\\ WARNING \\\ This book contains GRAPHIC content that may disturb some readers. 18+ is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for this book.
