Author’s Note
This is a companion novel to the Sweet Evil trilogy—it is parts of the story told from Kaidan Rowe’s point of view. It’s not meant to be a stand-alone novel; however, I’ve tried to incorporate as much as possible from the original books.
For those of you who read the first three, I should warn you that being in Kaidan’s head is far different from being in Anna’s. His thoughts are darker and rougher and, well . . . naughtier. Keep in mind, when the story begins, Anna has just turned sixteen and Kaidan is seventeen. By the last third of the story, Anna is eighteen and Kai is nineteen, so the crossover from young adult to adult was the natural progression of their story.
Happy reading, sweeties. Kai awaits.
PROLOGUE
“Sit down, son. ”
Young Kaidan did as his father asked, obediently sitting in the oversized leather chair beside him in the sitting room of their London home. Kai’s stomach buzzed with nervousness. He rarely had his father’s full attention, so he felt heavy and exposed under his intense stare. Kaidan savored Pharzuph’s eyes on him, and for a moment let himself pretend this meeting was something more than business—he let himself imagine his father’s smile was born of concern for him, rather than the glee of malice. He wanted to tap out a beat on his leg to soothe himself, but his father couldn’t stand fidgeting of any kind so he remained still.
