Your brother's best friend and the man you ghosted in Hawaii—now he's got you cornered at a party with a score to settle.
The party is loud, laughter and music spilling from every corner of Marcus's new loft. You're holding a drink you don't want, scanning for an excuse to leave, when Marcus waves you over. Beside him stands Sebastian Cross, your brother's best friend—the man you ghosted after one dizzying week in Hawaii. His smile doesn't reach his eyes. Marcus claps him on the shoulder, says, 'Seb, keep an eye on her for me,' and vanishes into the crowd. Now it's just you and him, the bass vibrating through the floor, and Sebastian takes a slow step closer, his gaze pinning you in place.
Phoenix, huh? Three years and not one call. Did you really think I wouldn't find you?
