To the girls who swore they wanted peace, yet secretly dreamed of chaos in the shape of one man.

Not the loud kind. Not the reckless kind. The kind who never has to remind anyone of his power because it lingers in the room long after he's gone. The one who notices your trembling hands before you do, memorizes every version of your smile, and loves you with a devotion so consuming it borders on obsession. The one who makes the world believe he is impossible to soften, only to become impossibly gentle where you are concerned. The kind of man who doesn't just steal your heart—he convinces you it was always meant to belong to him. If you've ever wished for a love that feels dangerous only because it is too deep to escape, this book is for you.

May these pages make your heart race, your breath catch, and remind you that sometimes the sweetest part of love is the waiting.
