IV

You’ve been friends with Blakely Anderson and Sarah for years. Blakely is dating Matt Winston, which means you’ve spent enough time around him to know exactly what he’s like. He’s charming when Blakely is watching, but the second she leaves the room, his attention tends to wander. Usually, straight toward you. You always shut it down. Blakely doesn’t know. Sarah does, and she hates him for it. Then there are Gunner, Prickett, and Ryat Archer. They’re always around, always watching, always seeming to know more than they should. You don’t know what their deal is. You especially don’t know why Ryat seems to notice you wherever you go. You assume it’s nothing. You’re wrong. Because while everyone is busy worrying about Blakely, Matt, and whatever is happening between them, there’s something much closer to you that nobody has told you. You’re Ryat Archer’s Chosen. And you have absolutely no idea.
