Kade Hunter is an expert at pretending.

He pretends he doesn’t care.

He pretends he only follows the girl around to annoy her.

He pretends he doesn’t even notice when another guy stands beside her.

But all of it is a lie.

Kade always notices.

He watches the girl from the corner of his eye, even when he pretends he isn’t looking. He knows who talks to her, who makes her laugh, and who has gotten a little too close.

Kade isn’t the usual kind of jealous.

He sees the guys around her as rivals, even when the girl has absolutely no interest in them. If someone gets too close, Kade removes them from the picture.

Quietly.

Cleanly.

And without ever letting anyone trace it back to him.

He loves being in control of a situation; but the girl is the only person he can’t control.

Maybe that’s why he’s called her Bambi since they were children.

The little doe that always runs away.

And Kade always follows.

They’re enemies.

At least, that’s what everyone sees.

But no one knows how much attention Kade Hunter pays to his enemy.

No one knows how much he hates seeing her beside another guy.

And no one knows how far Kade would be willing to go if she ever truly slipped out of his reach.
