Phantom (Tattered Curtain, #1)

by Greer Rivers

“If I am the phantom, it is because man's hatred has made me so. If I am to be saved it is because your love redeems me.”

The spotlight is dim compared to your radiance. I envy the light that touches you. It makes me question remaining in the dark.

My little muse is my addiction, and her voice is my drug. If there is a cure to my madness, I don’t want it. I’d rather welcome blissful oblivion.

“I’m not good, little muse. My obsession with you is the only pure thing about me. Never forget that I’m your demon of music, Scarlett. You can’t expect me to behave like a gentleman when you beg like my whore.”

“I’ll make you sing for me, my angel, my pretty little muse. I’ll make you understand the demon I truly am. Then we’ll see if you still want to run away from me.”
