    Summary

    Michael Emerson thinks David wants Star. He thinks the smirks, the taunts, the dares, and the blood are all part of some cruel game meant to make him jealous enough to lose control.

    He is wrong.

    Star was never the prize. She was the hook.

    David has been watching Michael since the boardwalk, studying every flash of anger, every protective instinct, every reckless step toward the edge. By the time Michael realizes David barely looks at Star when Michael is in the room, he has already drunk too deeply, fallen too far, and given David exactly what he wanted: a reason to believe Michael might choose the dark willingly.

    Now Michael has to face the truth of David’s attention.
    And David is done pretending it was ever about anyone else.
