He was everything I should avoid… A silent lion in the dark; watching, studying, devouring me without a single touch. His voice sent shivers up my spine, stopping my heart inside my chest as if he controlled the oxygen it needed to beat. I danced for him, because he demanded it. I lied for him, because he wanted it, even though I knew a single lie could get me killed. He told me I was too pretty for this world, that there were things he could do for me.

I couldn’t ignore what I felt, and decided to risk my life to ask him for help. But I was a fool wishing on fallen stars. When the smoke clears, I’m able to see him for what he truly is… And it’s not the hero I wanted him to be. How could I ever find love in the dark? *This is a standalone dark romance, and may contain material that might make some uncomfortable.
