A Demon in Waiting (Crimson Romance)
“She didn’t want to make small talk or be told by some stranger that she was pretty and should smile. No. She wanted to punch something.
Or someone.
She knew she was wrong for feeling it, but John’s sudden aversion to her — to touching her — woke up not-so-old memories she thought she’d left behind in Los Angeles.
