Trick Me Twice (Alstone High #1)

by Becca Steele

“Two halves, so different, yet the same. Trick him once, and you have much to gain. The gain will not come without a cost. Can you hold on when hope is lost?”

“Are you willing to pay the price? Trick him once, but don’t trick him twice.”

“You can want me, but you can never have me. Watch your back, little trickster.”

“One hides behind a mask. One has a secret. Beware the false one. You will lose your heart if you do not heed the warning signs.”

“Raine…” My grip tightened. “Do it.” Those two words snapped the final thread of my control.

“I go so fucking crazy around you, Raine. You’re no good for me. I don’t trust myself when I’m around you.” His voice grew even lower. “I don’t like who I am around you.”

You have a dark side, don’t you, my little trickster?”

Hope was a dangerous thing, as I soon found out. Everything had changed, but nothing had changed.

“You can run, but you can’t hide,”

He spoke one word, in a low, menacing rumble. “Run.” I did.

“Oh baby, you can’t run from me. I’ll always find you.”
