Slowly, I turn around, my pulse racing so fast I can hear it. thundering in my ears. Rhett steps into view, and the gleam in his eyes makes my stomach churn. He stands tall and imposing, with broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline. He looks exactly as I remember him tall, imposing, with that infuriatingly handsome face that masks the monster he truly

He takes another step closer, closing the gap between us until we’re only inches apart. His hand reaches out and grabs my chin roughly, forcing me to meet his intense gaze. “You know exactly what I mean,” he snarls, his grip tightening.
