When her dad’s gone, Emma moves to a new academy for a fresh start, but the town’s BIG FOUR, Rowan, August, Liam and Karl, rule everything. Each dangerous, magnetic, and unpredictable, they pull her into their dark world. But the real danger isn’t them—it’s the secret deal that ties her to a deadly game she was never meant to play.
“That you fucking did,” I growl, grabbing her around the waist and cupping her breast as I nip at the pulse thrumming in excitement in her neck. Her moan urges me on, and I respond in kind, pulling Lola from my pocket and slipping my hand down the front of her leggings. She spreads her…
“She’s not missing,” Liam begins, and the machine kicks up to alarming levels. “No,” I snap, kicking my leg from the bed and pulling wires and tubes from my body. “She can’t be dead!” “Fuck,” Rowan shouts. “She’s not dead. Stop before you hurt yourself, you goddamn idiot!” Rowan’s words still me long enough to…
“You all should’ve let me fucking die because, without her, I might as well be dead.” I don’t interrupt again. He needs this. And while I might be raging inside at having to constantly keep it together while just about everyone around me gets to fall apart-now isn’t the time. Karl pulls something from his…
I still won’t feel better until she’s back home. As Colt and Coop provide me with more information on Emma’s security detail, the downstairs lights finally go out. “Okay, you have ten minutes before they start making rounds. Move your ass, Grant,” Colt instructs. Putting in my earpiece, I climb out of the car and…
“There you are,” Emma’s melodic voice calms me. Whatever discontented feelings I had a moment ago are forgotten. Cupping her face in my hands, I press my forehead to hers. “I’m never too far behind you, Angel-remember that if you ever try to run from me.” She snorts, placing her hand on the “A” carved…
“We can’t leave her there,” he snaps. “She has to come home!” I close my eyes at the conviction in his voice. I want nothing more than for her to come home. There’s so much I need to make up for. My walls were crumbling for her. Rubbing at my eyes, I inhale, appreciating the…
Matthieu: Hello to you too, Asshole! Me: Not the time. Matthieu: What’s going on? Me: Not here. Matthieu: Meet me at the club in 2 hours. Me: Copy. Once my meeting with Matthieu is set, I look around the room and notice a now very empty spot in the corner by the window. “Where the…
“They’ve drugged him, and he needs time to work out whatever is in his system. He’ll open his eyes when he’s ready. All his vitals are outside of any dangerous ranges. For now, we wait,” Karl’s father informs us. The sound of the door opening has me lift my eyes in the direction of the…
“You’re not going to be able to find her,” August chimes. I open my mouth to argue but stop once I notice the chip’s been deactivated. “The signal went dead this morning. It didn’t even blip on the screen,” he sighs, fisting his hands in his fiery curls before slamming them against the table. I…
“He wouldn’t cooperate,” Brian stumbles, and I’d give anything to see the look on his face. The sound of heels clicking against the ground in my direction registers in my ears, and I steady my breath, not wanting to give away my alertness. “She’s going to blow a fucking gasket when she sees this.” I…
