The Higher The Star…The Harder The Fall

The Higher The Star…The Harder The Fall

Shiloh Only the good die young. But I’ve never been good. I’ve lived a life most people only dream about–famous men, expensive booze, and the finest drugs money could buy. But every vice has its price and living a life of excess has finally dragged me down, forcing me back to the one place I swore I’d never return. We met in high school, but we were far from sweethearts. I ruined his life and then walked away. Losing everything is bad enough, but crawling back to people who wish you were dead is a nightmare.

I’ve followed her train wreck of a career in the tabloids since she drove out of town with her nose in the air. The woman is toxic. The fact that a judge has court ordered her back to town means nothing to me–except maybe the payback I’ve waited a lifetime to collect. I’m going to build her up and tear her down. A better man would walk away. I’m not a better man. She thinks she has the upper hand. Think again, Starshine. Beauty is only skin deep, but revenge goes straight to the bone.
