Hero After Midnight

Gibson Hollow

She walked into the masquerade like a dare— wearing a mask, a dress that could kill, and a look in her eyes I’d never seen before. I knew it was her. She didn’t know I knew.

Alia Gibson is my best friend’s twin. Off-limits. Untouchable. The one girl I’m not supposed to want.

I told myself I was just watching out for her. That’s what friends do. But the truth?

I’ve never wanted anything the way I want Alia.

And if I cross that line... I’m not sure I’ll ever come back.

WARNING: This is a backstory prequel that ends on a cliffhanger. Their story continues in Book 1 of the Gibson Hollow series, Hero Ever After.
