Manifesting Him

The prequel to His To Ruin.

I never manifested before. Intrigued, I decided to give it a go. I mean, what harm could it do, right?

Under the radiant glow of a full moon, I thought long and hard about what I wanted. A great love to come into my life.

I wrote it down, repeating the words like a mantra, before placing the manifestation under my pillow.

That night I dreamt about him. He was kind, generous, and drop dead gorgeous with abs for days. I woke up feeling so excited. This person was going to come into my life and sweep me off my feet, just like in my dream.

However, fate had a different plan in store for me. One that would shatter my expectations in an unexpected twist.

I wasn’t swept off my feet. I got them kicked out from under me in the form of a new stepbrother.

I’ve seen the tattooed bad boy around school. He’s dangerous and rules the halls of Bayview Academy with his two best friends. As bad as Saint Garo is, I can’t deny the magnetic pull that both fascinates and terrifies me.

But there’s a darkness that lurks inside my stepbrother. I felt it the day my mom and I moved in with him and his shady father. There’s more to the rich and powerful Garo men than meets the eye.

I thought I was manifesting love, but I soon realized I had unwittingly invited a force that would challenge my every belief, plunging me into a world of darkness and temptation.

A temptation I can’t seem to stay away from, no matter how hard I try.
