Rowan Rici is everything I shouldn’t want.
Arrogant. Vicious. Sinfully gorgeous. And hellbent on making my life miserable.
He blames me for something I didn’t do— and he’s made sure I suffer for it every single day.
The stares. The whispers. The smirking threats in the shadows.
I hate him.
I crave him.
And worst of all? I write about him. In my secret fantasies, he kisses me like I’m his.
Touches me like he owns every breath I take. Ruins me with nothing but a look.
But fantasies were supposed to stay fiction. Right?
Then why did my anonymous novel get picked for the school play?
And Rowan was cast as the lead.
My lead.
The one who seduces.
The one who dominates.
The one who breaks me.
And now I’m reading lines I wrote in the dark, soaked in desire.
And he’s whispering them back with heat in his voice and hunger in his eyes.
He pins me against walls during rehearsal. He touches me like he’s memorizing my body.
He looks at me like I’m not the girl he hates— but the girl he’s been starving for.
I don’t know what’s real anymore.
His hate. His hunger.
The fire he lights in me every time we breathe the same air.
But one thing’s certain:
I’m not just writing the fantasy anymore.
I’m living it.
And if I’m not careful?
It’ll consume me whole.
