I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

鈥淢adison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.鈥� Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn鈥檛 dead. But I was set up. After being charged with a string of offences - and made an example of by my political-minded father - I鈥檓 eventually released back into Shadow Grove with one thing on my mind. Hate.

London Sinclair was the boy my mother warned me about for as long as I can remember.

Now here he is again, a man who beats other men bloody for money.

I don't believe in fairy tales and Prince Charming. I believe in fear. He taught me how to be afraid. We first met on a playground on a wonderful summer day.

My name is Cassidy Porter.... My father, Paul Isaac Porter, was convicted 20 years ago for the brutal murder of a dozen innocent girls. Though I was only eight years old at the time, I am aware-every day of my life-that I am his child, his only son. To protect the world from the poison in my veins, I live a quiet life, off the grid, away from humanity.

It's a promise I would have kept...if Brynn Cadogan hadn't stumbled into my life.

She's also a distraction I don't need.

Easy, right? Too bad he's committed to making her break every rule.

I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.
