Publisher's Synopsis
To notorious bad boy Tempest Callahan, I was the overlooked best friend, an annoying sidekick to his baby sister who trailed behind him and lurked in the shadows, eavesdropping on his every delicious word. Now we're older and at the same college. Despite the very real possibility he wouldn't return my feelings, I had to try. But I didn't know his secrets when I admired his gorgeous face and his Adonis body. I had no idea how damaged you could be on the inside while appearing so charismatic and unattainable on the outside. And it never occurred to me that, during one of those evenings when I followed behind him, what I witnessed would make him want to kill me. Cruel Promise's lush, gothic scenes and deliciously dark hero can be enjoyed as a standalone. IMPORTANT: This story contains some potential triggers involving dubious consent, contains references to witchcraft (but this is not a paranormal romance), and does not include a redemptive arc for the villainous love interest.
