Acknowledgments

 

Writing is a great passion for me and I’d like to think that the energy needed to create a novel is a combination of a lot of passions coming from different sources. So, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to the mighty forces who have contributed

into the fruition of this work of love.

GOD. No words can express how great you are.

My loving family, Ma, Pa, Bros, Sisters, Niece, Nephews—my sanctuary.

My writing buddy, partner in crime and soulfriend, Fiona. I just thank God I found someone like you to share this passion with because it sure is lonely without a smartass writing buddy, editor and business partner. :)

The LManiacs, who have supported me from the beginning, wherever I go, whatever I do.

My new readers who just discovered me through Amazon and Smashwords. It has been a great beginning and I hope to be able to continue this journey with you by my side.

My SDM Family, the backbone of Love Match.

LMD Pimp Squad, you are a powerhouse!

 

THANK YOU!

Prologue

 

“Hi Dare:))) This is Celine, from Coney Island! Do you still remember me? The girl you rode

the Cyclone with? You cannot imagine my shock when I saw you in an episode of The Wannabes!

I was like, oh my god, oh my god! It’s him! I know him!!! I have never forgotten what you look like.

My,  you are so cute on TV! I hope you haven’t forgotten me. I still have your phoenix.

I wear it all the time. I am your No. 1 fan from now on. I promise to always support you in anything.

I hope you make movies, too! I love you!:))) Take care.

 

THERE SHE IS AGAIN...a shadow from the mist... slowly taking shape...filling the chilly emptiness of his soul with the warmth of her very presence.

She always comes to him like this, bathed in light, her long, dark hair cascading down her back like waves of the finest silk sprinkled with diamond dust, turning the darkness around him into the most breath-taking vision of beauty.

Gently, she touches his face. Her soft, velvety voice resonates like a faint, sweet song of long forgotten dreams. “What is hurting you, my love?” It is what she asks him every time.

And his answer is always the same. “Now that you’re here, it doesn’t matter. Hold me. Save me.”

She smiles and her dark eyes dazzle like the full moon, exotic and mysterious. He can drown in their depths forever and never yearn to be found again. The moment he feels her warm skin on his chilly body, all the hunger in his soul consumes him, leaving him weak and needy and desperate for more of her touch.

He wraps his quivering arms around her, submitting all his fears and frailties to her loving embrace. She’s soft and smelling of flowers, warm and vibrant as a May Queen, everything that he yearns to have in his most solitary journeys.

She’s in his arms...his for the taking.

He burns to lose all of him in her.

“My love...take me! Save me!” he whispers to her urgently, pleadingly. She’s his sanctuary, the haven he’s been looking for all his life.

And just as her lips touch his, she starts to fade. She blends into the mist again...leaving him...leaving him alone in his ever benign mortal world.

He runs after her...as fast as he could...shouting in anguish.

He doesn’t want to be alone! Why must she always leave him?!

Why, why, why?!

 

Chapter One 

 

 

“Hello, Dare! How are you today?:))) It’s summer time and me and my cousin and best friend Shavonne are

going to enroll in a hip-hop dance class. It should be fun!:))) Oh by the way, I just finished watching an episode of The Wannabes and I think you are much cuter than Brook. I like your haircut! It’s so rock ‘n roll! You should have a bigger part in the next episodes. You deserve it for being so great and sooo cute!:)) I got a centerfold poster of you fromTeenStar Mag. Awesome!!! I’m excited to enter high school! Love ya! Mwah mwah!”

DARE WOKE UP ALONE IN HIS BED, breathing heavily, his heart pounding the walls of his chest to bursting.

That blasted dream again!

He hadn’t been visited by that disturbing apparition for some time now but it seemed to be back, tormenting his much needed rest. As always, he couldn’t recall how she looked like, only that she came with light and she made him feel very good. And then she left him, and he was running after her like a child being abandoned by his parents, helpless, desperate, weak and very afraid, as if his entire existence depended on her.

It was the worst feeling. Ever.

How he hated that woman in his dream. Nobody made him weak. Nobody! He didn’t need saving. Fuck! From what?

He was Dare Montgomery, Hollywood’s reigning king of the box-office. Producers hired him to star in their highest-budgeted movies. Adrenaline-junkie directors cut each other’s throats trying to land him for their ambitious projects.

He commanded his own price, sold the most expensive merchandise for man’s worldly pleasures over giant billboards that adorned Times Square, his face wrapping the facades of five star hotels in Las Vegas, Monaco, Singapore and Macau and right in front of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the most expensive billboard in the history of advertising.

He was on top of his game.

He did not need saving of any sort. He had faced death many times and nothing scared him now. Nothing could hurt him now. NOTHING!

Stupid, ridiculous dream. Why on earth would he beg for anybody, least of all a woman, to save him?

He cursed and closed his eyes again.

Somebody entered the door.
