He’s the devil I can’t stop loving — and the danger I can’t outrun.

I didn’t plan on this.

I didn’t plan on him.

Gray Santo. Unstoppable on the football field, lethal off it. The force driving the Cardinal Saints team. Cold. Dangerous.

And so damn beautiful, it hurts.

The same man who destroyed everything I thought I knew. Then walked away like nothing ever happened.

I was supposed to be the girl who played it safe.

But one touch, one kiss. That’s all it took to crave the chaos he promises.

I should hate him. I should walk away.

But every time I try, he pulls me closer — until I’m drowning in his darkness.

The truth is, he’s not the only one with secrets.

And when this is all over, I may never be able to escape.

But, do I even want to?
