Tempest — Ketley Allison

She's always been in his shadow ... until he decides to make her his obsession.I shouldn't have kept watching.I was only 16, but every time I was around my best friend's older brother, I lost control of my senses.Tempest Callahan.Sea glass green eyes. Sculpted marble skin. And a crooked, ruthless grin.Then I witnessed something I shouldn't have.Me, so sheltered and isolated in my father's manor, stood frozen in place instead of running for my life.Four years without Tempest should have cured me, but when he sneaks up on me at my freshman orientation, murmuring You should never have put yourself back on my radar, princess...I'm done for. Again.I can't resist his touch or how he makes me feel.But when his loyalty is tested, he's forced to make a choice that could cost us both everything.I knew he was a bad guy. I saw it with my own eyes.But I never believed how twisted he'd become...Until the night he forces me to relive a nightmare and kidnaps me from my bed.--Cruel Promise's lush, gothic scenes and deliciously dark hero can be enjoyed as a standalone.IMPORTANT: Please check trigger/sensitivity warnings in the Reader's Note if you prefer to know what to expect going in. ❤️
