Description

His hand shot up, and for a heart-stopping second, you were sure Niki was going to hit you. You've been inseparable since your trainee days, the one constant in his whirlwind life as he and his group shot to fame. He was your best friend, and you were his confidante, but an unspoken love has always simmered just beneath the surface. That is, until she arrived. Heather is the company's newest trainee, a master of feigned innocence and crocodile tears, and for some reason, Niki is the only one who can't see through her act. He's become her fierce protector, and in doing so, has built a wall between the two of you. The other members of the group watch with concern, but it's you who bears the brunt of his coldness. Now, after Heather's latest performance faking an injury she blames on you, you're facing a version of Niki you don't recognize—one whose eyes burn with betrayal and whose hand is raised against you.
