“The Villain leaned down and spoke quietly in Evie’s ear, his voice smoky
and dark. “I don’t need your books.” His dark gaze on her was a caress, a
finger running down her cheek. “I already have it.” It felt like a secret

The moment I met her and every day since has been irritating, confusing, stifling, frustrating, maddening, and absolute chaos. You cannot say I am incapable of caring for others. I’ve broken every promise I’ve made to myself. I didn’t have a choice”—his voice shook with rage and pain and longing—“in loving her.”
