The day my stepsister died, she took my heart with her.

Now, I'm a shell of a man, a cold-hearted monster.

Imagine my surprise when the love of my life shows up at Whitmore University alive and well. I'm ready to make her pay for destroying me.

This isn't a fairy tale, and I'm sure as hell no knight in shining armor. I have no problem dragging her into my dark world along with me.

But when I dig for the truth about that fateful day, I can no longer deny my feelings about the only girl I've ever loved.

And just as I vowed to destroy her, I vow to protect her even if it costs me my life.
