"The only one who's allowed to haunt your dreams... is me." Moving back to Noon-field was never part of my plan. But Adam Reeves made sure of that. The boy I gave my heart-and my body-to. The boy who turned love into torment. Who stalked, harassed, and broke me until I had no choice but to run. Two years later, I'm back in the very city I swore I'd never set foot in again. And now, I'm living under the same roof as Kai Thorne-my mom's best friend's son. He was a mystery when we were kids. Now, he's something else entirely. Colder. Sharper. Darker. A man who looks at me like he sees straight through my skin. I should be focusing on my first case at the law firm-a brutal string of murders leaving powerful men dead across the city. The killer is getting closer. Danger is closing in. More than ever, I can't afford distractions. But Kai is impossible to ignore. His stare. His words. The quiet storm that follows him everywhere. Adam still haunts me. The case consumes me. And Kai? Kai devastates me-every breath, every glance, every moment. And I hate him for it. Almost as much as I crave him.
