Easygoing and fun. Bennett, was, well, Bennett. Studious. Serious. It was always obvious who would take over the family business. When I left for dance school, my heart stayed behind with Quinn. It didn't matter. By then, he was the definition of a playboy billionaire. Sexy. Irresistible. A girl a week. Nonstop vacations. Insanely expensive cars. He always thought of me as a friend, which I tried to be. But I still loved him. I decided that when I came back from New York, I would be somebody. An accomplished ballerina. Successful. Adored. And he would love me at last. What I didn't count on when I returned, though, is that both Quinn and his brother would still be living at the estate. And that they would both be ready to fight. "For me."
