About The Dare
He was
more than my bully, he was what living nightmares were made of…
“I dare
you…” It started as a childish game played between two friends, that ended in
heartbreak.
I knew
him once.
A long
time ago you may have even called us friends.
That
was before I moved away, before my mother married his father, before my entire
life fell apart.
I lost
everything, my friends, my popularity, my future.
This
was supposed to be my fresh start… my last chance at new… but it wasn't it was
real life hell.
Vance
Preston used to be a poor boy with a soft smile and kind eyes.
He used
to be my friend.
Now
he's God’s gift to women (his words not mine), disgustingly handsome, and
filthy rich.
He can
do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, and hurt whomever he wants.
No one
can stop him, and no one dares too.
He
might as well be god.
And his
newest target: me.
He
dares me to defy him.
He
dares me to fight back.
He
promises he won’t stop…
….not
until he hurts me, not until he breaks me.
But I’m
not afraid, because you can’t break something that’s already broken.

Exclusive Excerpt
Staggering backwards like I’m
drunk I harden my gaze, “Entertain me con-artist, show me another use for that
pretty mouth of yours, besides spouting off lies.”
“I hate you,” She spits
through gritted teeth, the lustful haze diminishing in her eyes.
I hate myself too.
For wanting you.
For hating you.
For being stuck in this
stupid house with you.
“Come on, we ain’t got all
night…” I tisk, impatiently.
I’m so caught up in taunting
her, in feeling the lick of hate her presence brings me that I don’t notice the
slap coming towards my cheek until it’s too late. Her hand makes contact with
my cheek, and my head flies to the side with the impact of the blow.
My jaw turns to steel and my
temper ignites. I’m reacting before I even get a chance to stop myself.
Reaching for her, my fingers curl around her throat, my hold is surprisingly
gentle for the amount of bitterness flowing through my veins. Ava’s reaction to
me is petrified fear and she starts to tremble when I lean into her face,
giving her delicate throat a firm squeeze.
“If you’re going to put your
hands on someone then you better be prepared for them to put their hands on
you.”
“Don’t…” She croaks.
“What? Hurt you?” I tilt my
head to the side, eyeing her heart shaped face. “I could never hurt you like
you hurt me, you’ve done enough of that for the both of us. I’m merely trying
to show you a sliver, a fraction of the pain you made me feel.” Feeling as if
I’m seconds away from crashing and burning I release her, and take a step back.
Then I turn to walk away. I’m done. Done with this cat and mouse game.
