Once upon a time, Cade Montgomery was Barrett Creek’s Golden Boy.
Star varsity baseball pitcher.
Prom King.
Ridiculously hot.
My next-door-neighbor—and the absolute bane of my existence.
Like the rest of our tiny Texas town, I was in awe of him. Maybe even a little in love with him. When it was just the two of us, he made me feel like I was something. Like I was special. More than what I was.
But when people were watching, he was cold. He ignored me. Looked right through me and I took it, kept bending and forgiving him, every time he tapped on my window in the middle of the night and flashed me one of his devastating smile… until a prom night prank killed what I felt for him, leaving nothing but hate, no matter what he said afterward.
When I left Barrett, I told myself it was for forever. Nothing good had ever happened to me here and I was glad to be rid of a place that brought me nothing but shame and pain. I’d moved on. Put it behind me. Built the perfect life with the perfect man… but the perfect life I’ve built isn’t perfect. It isn’t even a life—it’s a nightmare—and suddenly, Barrett is the only place I feel safe.
Coming back was never the plan. It was never something I meant to do—because Cade is here.
He’s different. Not the person he used to me. He’s no longer Barrett’s Golden Boy. Now Cade is the thing they whisper about. The thing they ignore. The monster hiding under their beds.
After what he did to me, I should be hiding from Cade Montgomery, right along side them. After everything I’ve been through, he’s the last person I should believe. After what they said he did, he’s the last person I should trust… but my nightmare is coming for me and if I’m going to survive what comes next, I’m going to need him. I’m going to need the monster. I just need to remember that no matter what my heart wants or wants to believe, I can’t fall in love with the man.
