Aura: This wasn't the life I was meant to live. No, I should be working on solidifying my ladder of ascension. No matter what the cost or what I had to give up. No matter what they made me do. Their little wildflower, that's who I am. Quiet, meek, gullible. Until I met the one person who changed all of it and became something more. She's my filthiest secret. And one I intend on taking to the grave. Ruby: Another night at the club I work at-Pandora's Box. Another dance, another tease, another round of shots and callously thrown dollar bills. Until her. Until the energy shifted and one moment became the only thing that mattered. Because she changed everything, claiming my attention and making it hers. My dangerous little mistake, my favorite enticing regret.My Vibe Girl. --Amazon.com.

MY LIFE. MY RULES. THAT'S HOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FOR ME. WELL, SINCE I DID SOMETHING THAT RIPPED APART THE THREADS OF MY HUMANITY. AFTER THAT, I LET GO OF EVERYTHING THAT LEFT ME EXPOSED. RELYING ON MYSELF ALONE WAS THE BEST OPTION. I CAN'T ALLOW ANYTHING NEAR ME ANYMORE, NOT EVEN THE ONE GIRL WHO SOMEHOW INTOXICATES MY BLOOD AND PROVES SHE MEANS MORE. Calypso SACRIFICES WERE MADE WHEN I WAS YOUNG. VITAL PIECES OF MY VULNERABILITY WERE STOLEN FROM ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR TOO EASY IF I HADN'T SEEN HER AGA SO, OF COURSE, THE ONE GIRL I HATE MOST IS THE CONSTANT REMINDER OF MY MOST PAINFUL PAST. SHE THINKS I'M STILL THE WEAK ONE BETWEEN US. IT'LL BE MY SWEET REVENGE PROVING HER OTHERWISE.
