“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!”

“Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!”

Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. 

Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. 

He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever...

"You're right, I don't understand," Eva said softly. "But he's dangerous. Multiple people said so."


Hazel snorted. She had known he was dangerous from the very beginning. It was how he first introduced himself to her.


"I've known that from the first day we met and I still don't care. He's mine. And if you say a word about this to anyone, I don't care if I have to pay a huge penalty fee. I will break the contract and you'll have to find another artist."


Eva went silent after that for a while. She seemed to be mulling over what to say. Eventually she spoke up with downcast eyes. "I wouldn't have told anyone anyway. You're my friend. I'm just worried about you."


Hazel didn't need anyone to worry about her. She had been alone long enough that other people didn't really matter all that much. She was used to being the only one to worry about herself.


"I know what I'm doing," she said crisply. "I'll be perfectly fine. There isn't a need to worry about me."
