<p>This could ruin everything.</p><p>I was born broken with a past full of ugly secrets and a brother doing life in prison.</p><p>Not that you’d know it if you read the tabloids. According to them I’m the rock-solid guitarist for the biggest band in the world. I’m the dependable one. The steady one. The anchor.</p><p>They don’t know the truth. No one knows who I am underneath once the music is over and the lights are off. No one but Darcy. She’s my best friend. She’s my f--king savior my light in the dark beautiful as hell and talented as f--k and every bit as broken as me.</p><p>And I f--king yearn for her. I have for years.</p><p>I see the way she looks at me what’s behind her eyes. I know what she thinks about alone in the dark because how could I not know.</p><p>It’s getting worse. Every second every heartbeat every moment we spend together and every secret we share makes me want her more. Even though I know that one kiss could ruin everything we have I need her.</p><p>But to get her? I’ll risk everything I’ve got.</p>
