Dark. Powerful. Dangerous. Philip Murphy has all of Chicago under his thumb. Except me. We met in a perfect storm of violence and lust. He saved me and then disappeared from my life. Now I pretend I never knew that kind of darkness. I focus on midterms and campus parties, as if they can wipe the slate clean. Then he turns up outside my dorm room—wounded and barely conscious. He’s the head of a crime syndicate, a powerful man, but he needs me now. There are traitors in his midst. I can help him, but I can’t fall for him. Not again.
Excerpt Time!
It was dark outside, grown late, and I hadn’t eaten dinner yet. Somewhere out there, Philip was
probably dining with crystal and expensive wine. Meanwhile I’d probably order a pizza with one
of those coupons by the door.
A low sound raised the hair on my neck.
Oh God, I’m not alone.
My gaze swept over the small dorm room.
From here I could see the tiny bedroom area and the
kitchenette. I could see almost the entire space. Empty.
Maybe it was just one of my neighbors getting busy and—
The sound came again, louder. A shiver ran through me. It was coming from outside the room,
but not from either side. It was coming from the door.
I crept over and looked out the peephole. An empty hallway bulged in the distorted lens.
Now I was doubting myself. Had I actually heard something? Maybe it had come from the dorm
room across the hall.
When I first moved here, it had been shortly after my “ordeal,” as my
adoptive mother called it. I had jumped at every sound, both real and imagined, more
traumatized by my brush with danger than I’d wanted to admit.
My gaze snapped to my phone.
I could call my adoptive mother right now, but I knew she wouldn’t want to be bothered. I
could call the building management, but I knew what would happen. The same thing that had
happened last time I called them. They’d send my floor advisor to check on me.
If there was
anything scary in this hallway, she’d have to face it first.
And if there wasn’t anything scary, if it was my imagination again, the PTSD I didn’t want to
acknowledge, well then everyone would know how f*cked up I was inside.
No, I had to be overreacting. This was nothing. There was no one in the hallway. And even if
there was, it would be some drunk guy, passed out on the wrong floor.
I’m a normal college student, I reminded myself. I’m not afraid of
anything.
Both of those things were lies, I was neither normal nor brave, but at least I could send a drunk
frat boy on his way.
I opened the door a crack. Nothing.
Relief filled me, and I opened the door wider.
A body slid inside, slumped over without the door to support him. A short scream escaped me
before I caught myself.
He was wearing a three-piece suit stained with blood, his expression slack, eyes glassy with pain
and delirium. Philip.
Oh God, he was hurt. Really badly hurt if he couldn’t stand up. Horribly hurt if he’d ever have
come to me of all people. I didn’t have time to process the shock of it, of seeing him again. I had
to get him out of sight. If he’d been injured like this, someone was after him. Someone would
want to finish the job.
