My friends say Hunter Cayman’s dangerous.
They say he's a threat to everyone in town.
I’m not so sure.
As he stands before me in this crowded club with the lights shining around us, I catch something good under Hunter’s dark facade. Something decent and profound.
I don’t know who or what to believe.
But I will find out the truth.
Aeris Thorne is expecting a restful vacation in the remote town of Deep Cove. But on a stormy night, she meets the alluring and mysterious Hunter Cayman, and her life takes an exhilarating turn.
Aeris is both drawn to him and determined to find out what he’s hiding. It’s clear Hunter has found success with the high-security lab on his vast estate. But what Aeris doesn’t know is that he’s tormented by a secret: the truth behind his research.
As he and Aeris are drawn together, the walls he’s built to protect himself threaten to crumble. At the same time, she begins to wonder if she’s found the key to unraveling her own tragic past. When Aeris’s life is threatened, Hunter is forced to make an impossible decision about her future—one that could change everything.
Chapter
One:
I
stumble through the red-tinged nightclub haze and wonder if this
is what purgatory looks like. Ella and Gage are nowhere to
be seen. Did they leave? I hurry out the
club door and cold air engulfs me. A gasp bursts from my lips,
half relief, half shudder, as the night’s damp fingers creep
through my fluttering dress.
Shivering,
I wind my arms around my ribs.
That’s
when I see him. Dr. Hunter Cayman.
The
man the town has been whispering about. The man no one really
seems to know. The man my father despises.
He’s
across the street, leaning against a steel monster—a low-slung
black car, its curves somehow wicked in the night. Rain
sparkles like fire on the front hood under the glow of the
orange streetlamps. His startling, magnetic intensity pulls at
me so hard that I can’t seem to look away.
For
a doctor in charge of a research facility, he’s young. Late
twenties, maybe. His dark gray T-shirt stretches across his
muscular chest. His thumbs are hooked into the pockets of
his well-fitting jeans, and his strong forearms are bare to the
relentless drizzle. In fact, he seems to enjoy the
misty wetness. Like he’s in his element. The way I would be on
a beach in Hawaii, a million miles away from this tiny, nowhere
town.
Despite
the midnight sky, he’s wearing dark glasses. Like the car,
they, too, sparkle with rain. His face is rugged, more
handsome than beautiful. His strong jaw is shadowed faintly
with stubble. I wonder what he looks like when he smiles. If he
does smile.
Why
is he here? Is he debating whether to go in? Or is he waiting
for someone?
For
one dizzy, strange moment, I wish he were waiting for me.
