Ryan Alvarez is unreliable, unapproachable and has an attitude as foul as his mouth.

His masculine beauty is more infuriating than his blasé attitude to life.

He’s everything I hate and everything I avoid.

And then his past indiscretions force our paths to align.

Until the sparks we create catch light and the fire that is us burns through the foundations of everything I thought I wanted to be.

My wants. Hopes. Beliefs.

The worst kind of enemy is the one that makes you believe they’re not, and the problem with falling for them …

When they decide to strike, you have no choice but to crumble.
