My Boyfriend’s Halloween Prank Nearly Killed Me

Sadie Hart’s boyfriend knows her heart condition makes haunted houses dangerous. He helps lure her inside anyway, then laughs while her closest friends film her terror. When Sadie finally walks away, they demand an apology to the woman they all protect. This time, the emergency is real—and their favorite punch line ends up in intensive care. Nate promises he’ll change. Her brother wants another chance. But surviving their cruelty has taught Sadie something they never expected: she can leave them all behind, and she doesn’t need their permission.
