One
ley when her car had skidded off the road into a
muddy ditch. Unfortunately, as soon as Chase got
Chloe out of the rainstorm, he saw the bruise on
her cheek and realized that she had much bigger
problems than just a busted-up car in a ditch. It
had taken Chase several days to gain her trust,
and when she’d finally confessed what her ex-
husband had done to her, Chase had given her
the support she’d needed to report her abuser to
the police.
The first time Marcus met Chloe he’d imme-
diately been able to see that his brother was smit-
ten. He also thought his brother had made a good
choice in falling for Chloe. She was beautiful, but
she was also a very sweet, intelligent, brave and
loving person. She clearly loved his brother with
the same passion and equal devotion.
Their whole family had been at his brother’s
engagement party this evening—even Smith, who
was one of the biggest, and busiest, movie stars
in the world. Chase was the first Sullivan to get
engaged, and it was a big deal to all of them.
Especially for their mother, who had been both
pleased—and more than a little relieved—that
one of her eight children had finally decided to
take the plunge into “forever.”
Marcus had enjoyed celebrating with his

tar and the songs and the guy with sound boards
and industry cred.
At first there had been flowers, special nights
out at fancy restaurants, even a poem he claimed
to have written for her. Her manager, along with
several of the musicians that toured with her, had
been a little leery of Kenny, and had cautioned
Nicola not to move too fast into a relationship
with him. But Nicola had been like a million other
girls who told themselves their boyfriends were
simply “misunderstood.” She’d loved that she was
the only one who saw how good he really was be-
neath his rock and roll exterior.
It wasn’t until she was in too deep that she
started to see the way he used emotions as if they
were bargaining chips. And soon she found the
only way to keep him happy—and to be sure he
still “loved” her—was to give in to some of the
things he wanted her to try.
Stupid girl.
A thousand times since then—no, more like a
million—she’d asked herself how she could have
been so naive. Naive enough that when her ma-
nipulative boyfriend sold his story of wild nights
with the pop star, complete with pictures that he’d
