My nightmares, however, became my obsession.His name is Michael Crist.My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.But I noticed him.I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away.Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore.Because he’s finally noticed me.INtroductionHE WON’T BE HERE. There’d be no reason for him to show up at his brother’s farewell party, since they couldn’t stand each other, so... No, he won’t be here. Pushing up the sleeves of my lightweight sweater, I hurried through the front door of the Crist house and speed-walked across the foyer, heading straight for the stairs. Out of the corner of my eye, I spied the butler rounding the corner, but I didn’t stop.“Miss Fane!” he shouted after me.“You’re very late.” “Yes, I know.” “Mrs. Crist has been looking for you,” he pointed out. I shot up my eyebrows and immediately stopped, turning around to peer at him over the railing. “Has she really?” I eyed him with mock astonishment. He thinned his lips, annoyed. “Well, she sent me to look for you.” I broke out in a smile and leaned over the bannister, planting a quick kiss on his forehead. “Well, I’m here,” I assured him.“You can get back to your important duties now.” I turned and continued up the stairs, hearing the soft music coming from the party out on the terrace. Yeah, I highly doubted Delia Crist, my mother’s best friend and the matriarch of Thunder Bay, our small East Coast community, was spending her precious time looking for me herself.“Your dress is on your bed!” he called after me as I walked around the corner. I exhaled an aggravated sigh and powered down the dimly lit hallway, grumbling under my breath,“Thank you, Edward.”
