Now Niko makes her feel something else entirely a rush of connection and pure desire that she s been trying to quench since one secret kiss years ago. Niko s not sticking around. She s not going to leave. And after all that s happened between their families, this can t be anything more than brief pleasure and a bad idea.
But the lies we tell ourselves can t compete with the truths our hearts refuse to let go
