Masked Monster

JAMIE
I never wanted him.
Not the city’s golden boy. Not the bully who made my life hell.
And definitely not the masked freak who chased me through the woods the night everything changed.
But now Lex Rothwell isn’t just the guy I avoid on campus—
he’s my stepbrother.
My new personal nightmare.
And every time he looks at me, I can’t tell if he wants to ruin me…
or kiss me again.

LEX
I’ve hated Jamie Lancaster for years.
His smart mouth. His soft eyes. His ability to get under my skin like he belongs there.
I should’ve forgotten that night in the woods– the mask, the fear in his voice.
But I didn’t.
Now he lives in my house, sleeps down my hall, and tests every rule I’ve ever lived by.
I don’t want him.
I shouldn’t want him.
But some boys aren’t meant to be loved.
Some are meant to be hunted.
