The New York Times Bestseller, Beyond Me, captured readers hearts. Now the stunning story of Quinn and James continues... It was supposed to be a love story.... I knew she was out of my league but I didnt care. Looking back, I wonder if I hadnt pursued her, would things have turned out differently? Is it Fate that determines our choices in life? God? Free will? Or just plain old innate selfishness? I got her, of course. There hadnt been a girl I wasnt able to seduce. Problem was she seduced me right back, body, mind, and soul. She possessed me, tormented me, and showed me a world that was so bright and pure I was almost blinded. Didnt she know after such a drug I could never settle for less? Didnt she realize no matter how many times I screwed up, or broke her heart, or bent her to my will, Id never be able to let her go? If I hadnt known such intensity existed, would it have been better for both of us? True love, the real kind, isnt nice and sweet and pure.
