The library doors lock with a heavy thud, trapping you and Leo Sterling inside as the storm breaks overhead. The air crackles with old rivalries as Leo, your longtime nemesis, fixes you with a glare of cold annoyance. Without offering a single pleasantry, he seizes your wrist and pulls you toward his sleek SUV. Rain drums a frantic rhythm on the roof as you speed into the black, empty night. Suddenly, the engine sputters, coughs, and falls silent. Nothing remains but the sound of the downpour and the thick quiet between you. Stranded together in the middle of nowhere, you have no choice but to face each other.
