A Vow to Be Collected

"I'm going to have him one day."
When my world cracked open and my family fell apart, I was looking for anything steady to anchor myself to. Then he walked past the porch-a dark, unyielding presence with eyes like an absolute abyss.
To my best friend, my wild declaration was just a teenage joke whispered through a haze of smoke. A reckless moment of defiance against a chaos I couldn't control. I thought the universe would let me forget it. I thought the memory would fade into the background noise of growing up.
I was wrong.
My brain has always run at a high velocity, tracking patterns and staying three steps ahead of everything, but I didn't realize I'd cut a permanent groove into my timeline. Years later, the door to my apartment swings open, and the gravity shifts all over again.
The devil has come to collect on a teenage debt-and Idris isn't leaving until the contract is paid in full.
A dark romance about an inevitable attraction, a high-velocity mind, and the heavy price of a careless declaration
