Publisher's summary

To notorious bad boy Tempest Callahan, I was the overlooked best friend, an annoying sidekick to his baby sister who trailed behind him and lurked in the shadows, eavesdropping on his every delicious word.

Now we're older and at the same college. Despite the very real possibility he wouldn't return my feelings, I had to try.

But I didn't know his secrets when I admired his gorgeous face and his Adonis body.

I had no idea how damaged you could be on the inside while appearing so charismatic and unattainable on the outside.

And it never occurred to me that, during one of those evenings when I followed behind him, what I witnessed would make him want to kill me.

Cruel Promise's lush, gothic scenes and deliciously dark hero can be enjoyed as a standalone.

IMPORTANT: This story contains some potential triggers involving dubious consent, contains references to witchcraft (but this is not a paranormal romance), and does not include a redemptive arc for the villainous love interest.

A dark love story… if you dare

The excellent narration really brings this story to life. Tempest is drawn into a world of organized crime. It’s a life he never asked for, and he can’t leave. His status as a college student is a front for the larger criminal operation. Ardyn is his little sister’s best friend, and both of them are on HIS campus.

Ardyn has scars of her own. Kidnapped as a child and held for ransom, her return to her privileged life meant living a suffocating, guarded existence. Her father shelters her and the trauma leaves her with fragile mental health. A night out with her friends ends in tragedy and leads to her involuntary commitment until college.

Crossing paths with Tempest is dangerous and she knows it. Their attraction is dark, head-spinning and undeniable. What happens when their worlds collide and start a chain reaction neither can stop?

I enjoyed this story. If you love dark romance, this story is for you.
