Then, after the fateful Halloween when I turned nineteen, I claimed her as mine-but, by Christmas, she was gone.I didn't chase. That's always been Hunter's thing, and he tried to find her for me. I know he did.What I didn't know?

But as the years slipped by, I couldn't help but think I saw him there. Over my shoulder, in the reflection of a storefront window, even in my gated community.But it wasn't Nicholas, was it? It was his twin-and he's finally decided it's time I go where I belong.It's time I return to Shadowvale and face the man Nicholas has become, and who I'm still inexplicably drawn to a decade after I saw him last... even after he makes me a deal that I can't afford to refuse.
