About the book: year / *Adrian*It was always supposed to be mine... until my little brother got to it first. Now I will do everything possible to make her mine. I was always in control and succeeded in everything. Academy. Hockey. Sex. I don't even have to try to be the best and my little brother hates me for it. I can't even blame him. Since his birth, Donovan has always lived in my shadow. I quietly ignore him... until he does the unforgivable: starts dating Sienna Roberts. Sienna is mine, she just doesn’t know it yet. Nobody knows. Nobody but Donovan. I keep my emotions close to my chest. They call me resilient. Indifferent. Cold. Choose for yourself. I don't feel emotions. Sienna is my only exception. She has a way of breaking down my carefully constructed walls and bringing me to my senses just by calling me... even if the slight tremor in her voice suggests that she is still scared of me. Donovan knows that I crave her... knows that Sienna is my only weakness and the only tool he can use to make me pay for the impossible standards that are held to him just because he is my brother. That's the only reason the passive-aggressive sack of shit took the risk of contradicting me by going after her. For him, it's not about Sienna. He doesn't need her. He never wanted her. But hurt me? That's what he really wants. He is ready to do anything to make me suffer. He's using Sienna as a pawn and she's too in love with him to realize it. What about me? I've had enough. I'm tired of waiting. Sienna has always been mine. And if she can't understand it, I'll make her. *Sienna* I've always had a crush on Donovan Windsor. He was always the cool guy in school. To be honest, I didn’t even think that he knew about my existence. For some reason, during the summer between high school and college, he asked me out. I still can't believe it, even three months later. I still have to pinch myself. But now that we're in college, we live with his older brother, Adrian. And what's most interesting is that Adrian makes me feel... restless. He's intense, dark, and controlling—everything I shouldn't want when I'm already dating my Mr. Right. I can't explain it, but I feel like I'm in danger when Adrien's dark, piercing gaze falls on me. It’s as if he sees right through me, to the very depths of my soul. I should be terrified. But he draws me to him in an incomprehensible way. Like a moth to a flame. Adrian is the kind of forest fire that leaves no trace after it consumes you. I should be happy with Donovan. Donovan has always been my dream guy. And yet I can't help but fantasize about what it would be like to dance in Hadrian's flames.
