EXCERPT:
As my eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room, I stared at his face. Luca looked so peaceful in his sleep, not to mention handsome. His bold, dark features relaxed as he dozed, leaving only a cluster of impossibly thick eyelashes and full lips for me to stare at.
Nothing I’d learned made sense.
I’d known Luca as a kid. I’d stared at his face before he was old enough to shave it. I’d fallen in love with him—and his beautiful face—before he’d gotten the scar just above his left cheekbone. I’d long since memorized every detail of his stupid, perfect face.
I’d thought I knew everything about Luca. One week ago, I would’ve said I knew him better than I knew anyone else.
Now, I wasn’t sure I knew him at all. I had thought he was intense, but passionate. Possessive, but adoring. Cocky, but self-loathing. I never believed he was perfect, but I sure thought he was perfect for me.
Now I realized I had no idea what horrors he might be capable of.
I started to recite the prayers of the rosary, certain I’d never fall asleep, not with the man who’d lied right beside me. Except somehow, I did.
When I awoke, the sun was up, and Luca was gone. My stomach was still filled with dread.
What was the point of knowing Luca wasn’t the man I’d thought he was if there was nothing I could do about it?
