He's always been watching.
Madeline Storm doesn't know it, but Kade Vespera has never stopped watching her. She's the girl who humiliated him-the girl who pretended to care, then crushed him when she kissed him and laughed in his face. That moment shattered him, but it was only the beginning.
Now, he's the one in control.
He waits, lying in the shadows, for the perfect moment to remind her of the game she started. A game that won't end until he's claimed what he deserves. What she deserves. She has no idea the shadow that follows her is the same one who controls the men around her, the one watching from the darkness-always too far for her to see, always too close for her to ignore.
She's perfect. But perfect things break.
And he's going to break her. He'll make her regret the day she left him behind, make her feel every ounce of the pain she caused. He'll do it on his terms. It's a love unlike any other, a love willing to destroy them both. He doesn't want to love her; he wants to own her. He wants to leave his mark, indelible and inescapable-on her body, her heart, her soul.
But does he crave revenge more? Or is it something darker, something he fears to admit even to himself?
Madeline is about to learn just how far obsession can go. The boy she thought she'd left in the past has never let her go-and he never will.
