His Best Friend's Sister

Dorian Vane has spent years pretending Tessa is only his best friend's sister. Tonight, he's turned an abandoned psychiatric hospital into an underground club, with Miles at his side and the cops paid off. When a stranger touches Tessa on the dance floor, Dorian crosses the room and makes him back off. Then he tells her, “Time to go,” and expects her to follow. In the smoke and noise, his possessive attention feels less like protection and more like a choice she never got to make.
