À propos de cet audio
A psychopath and his prey.
A dangerous, toxic, and utterly destructive love story....
He could have been my hero. He saved my life that night, a beautiful dark angel slicing through my fear and the water, dragging me from its deadly clutches. He should have been my hero. I thought maybe he was.
Villains aren’t supposed to win, and good should always conquer evil, but in the elite coastal town I live in, the only purpose a label has is letting you know what something—or someone—costs. Good, bad—it’s all relative, and it hardly matters. Baymont, California, is a land of beautiful villains and happy ever afters that are just out of reach.
Especially for me.
Until Dare moves the world beneath my feet, and even though I’m afraid to trust it—to trust him—boy, am I tempted. In more ways than one. Being with Dare is scary, but being without him is impossible. He makes it impossible.
Dare’s no hero, that much is clear, but maybe... Maybe he’s mine.
This story contains triggers and is intended only for a mature, adult audience. See the opening author's note for more explicit warnings, but know this is a very dangerous relationship with a very dark hero.

This story begins with Aubrey, a senior in high school on the poor side of the story and struggling through life. She works part-time to have health care as her mom is dying with cancer. Easily coasting through life unseen until a run-in with Anae at her part-time job puts her square on the bullseye for the top queen bully. Anae feeling slighted takes the petty road and begins to hatch a plan to pay Aubrey's 'lack of respect' in kind.
Then fate--or bad luck--however you would consider it, she arrives to a school party. Orchestrated by Anae, Aubrey is put in the crosshairs with an encounter with a tomboy female and ends up in a pool for a near drowning. Thus enters Dare and he saves her from drowning. But don't get it wrong, he isn't a good guy. Dare is Anae's boyfriend and that moment is where a scheme to inflict revenge is hatched by Anae by using Dare. Though to be clear, that man cannot be used. He went willingly because he wanted that female.
Dare is hands down the most manipulative MMC I have EVER read. I ate that up and left no crumbs. He was eloquent in how he puppeteered our sweet little Aubrey. He enjoyed it so much that Dare kept her for his own while mastering the chess board of the story like a pro.
Sam Mariano writes morally black men like its dessert and I cannot love this enough.
Also - the Audio for this is utterly chef's kiss!! Duet style and a must listen.
