CASSIE My manager sold me out to the worst men alive. They want to buy me so they can break me. I’m in way over my head. Ranger is the only thing keeping me afloat. He’s a beast, too—but a different kind of beast altogether. Because when he growls in my ear… When he throws me across his bike… He makes me think that a future might be possible. If we can just get out of here alive. RANGER I’ve got skeletons in the closet. Demons in my head. She deserves a better man than me. But I just couldn’t help myself. I needed her sweetness. I needed her light. So I did what I shouldn’t have done. Took what I shouldn’t have taken. And now… I’ll burn in hell before I give her up.
