He needs her to save his career. She needs to watch him suffer first. But some grudges come wrapped in red lace and go down just like whiskey—burning, dirty, unforgettable.
Wyatt Houston broke me with his cowboy grit and filthy promises. Now I’m supposed to save his career.
It’ll be a cold day in Hell.
He’s the only man to ruin me so thoroughly I still taste the ash.
But my family? They’re relentless.
They ask why I won’t help, but I can’t exactly confess how my brother’s best friend was my first everything.
Or all the nights I snuck into his bed.
Or how he used my heart like a stepping stone to fame.
I swore I’d never again crave the way his voice drops when he’s angry.
I’d forget the hands that once worshipped me like a sin.
So I’ll just stay professional.
Yet when he looks at me like I’m the only thing he’s ever wanted to ride hard and claim twice, I remember exactly how I broke.
God help me. I might cave and let him do it again.
