Restless Night — Persephone Autumn

I loathe Micah Reed. Yet, I can't keep my eyes off him.Years ago, he opened his mouth in a room full of our peers. Said nine words and ruined my life.My high school crush did exactly that... crushed me.But I am no longer the quiet, loner girl from high school. The girl who let others trample her spirit.Now, I take charge. Stand tall. Bend to no one. Never again.Especially Micah Reed.Peyton Alexander makes me question my sanity. Yet, I refuse to stop antagonizing her.Since her first day at work, she has given me the death glare. Lipped off and verbally slapped me.And every night, I go back for another round.Not sure what I did to deserve her animosity, but I plan to find out. Plan to fix whatever mistake I made.Although I live for her banter, I want more with Peyton. The attention she gives other men, I want it for myself.Call me presumptuous, but Peyton Alexander will be mine.Micah wants me because I don't fall for his charms.Peyton resists to deny herself the truth.Will he figure out who I am?Will she ever let me in?
