And I’m the only woman competing.

She’s being attacked, losing her footing as she falls to the dusty ground littered with pine needles. Scurrying like a crab, she attempts to stand and then nothing. A cold sweat trickles down Slater Montgomery’s spine. It’s been years since he’s felt them - years since he’s seen them. The visions which nearly destroyed his childhood.

Catarina swears I’ll never touch her, let alone kiss those full lips of hers. Based on our chemistry, I’m not buying it....

Especially when she finds herself kissing the birthday boy, and then running like hell....

Sadly, neither of those things gave Rusty Crawford, lead guitarist of the band Black Addiction, worldwide fame and fortune.
