The Moth and the Flame (When Rivals Play Book 2)

<i> They're the best of friends or the worst of friends. Neither one is letting go.</i><br /><br /><b>THE FLAME</b><br /><br />Here lies Louchana Valentine. She was a homeless, orphaned virgin.<br /><br />I never cared what my gravestone would say until I landed in deep with a powerful gangster. Lucky for me, my best friend happens to be ruthless too. I should feel guilty that he's forced to turn on the man who's been a father to him. Except I've always known that Wren's soul wasn't as black as he claimed.<br /><br />He was good.<br />He was beautiful.<br />He was mine.<br />He just didn't know it yet.<br /><br />And with Wren keeping me safe, I've got time left to rewrite the end of my story. But if he has his way, virgin is already carved in stone.<br /><br /><b>THE MOTH</b><br /><br />I've never known anyone as alluring as Lou. Or as frustrating. Since the night she saved my life and stole my wallet for her troubles, I couldn't stay away.<br /><br />She became my onus.<br />My light.<br />My...anyway.<br /><br />With nowhere to run, I'm forced to trust someone I never expected. At least with Lou safe in Blackwood Keep--<i>far</i> away from me--I'll die with my conscience intact. Because she no longer looks at me with friendship in her eyes. Those iridescent blues shine with a different need entirely, and I've never been able to deny her.<br /><br /><b>This second installment in the When Rivals Play series is a continuation of the events that occurred in The Peer and the Puppet.
