After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.

What happens when the mafia leader's daughter gets a bodyguard? "Is he mute?" I ask my dad. "No, he is not mute" my dad scoffs, "he just doesn't talk...never has even when he came to us, he also has never shown his full face" I look over to see that he has a black mask covering the bottom half of his face. I walk over to him and wave my hand in front of his face. "So you really don't talk huh?" No answer.... I roll my eyes and reach for his mask. He instantly grabs my wrists and pulls them by my sides. I stand there with wide eyes as he walks to the other side of my dad's office. "Well this is going to be fun"I mutter sarcastically.

"Fuck, Roxy...." Leo whispers out breathily and I let out a plead as once again the beautiful colors of orange and blue from the sunset spill over our skin. "Please don't..." I plead and he grabs onto my hands, intertwining our fingers. "I'm not gonna spend my senior year making you think that I never wanted this, Roxy. I do, and I just want you to know that." He says and I swallow. :; Leo "Jace" McClure is what you think of when you think of a popular senior jock. Everyone in the whole school knows him, the guy who has probably slept with all of the girls at the school, except for his sister's best friend Roxanne Rosinchy. But having Roxanne as his little sisters best friend and his family's prized possession comes with its problems when every time he looks at her he knows he's running out of time to tell her the truth, but also he doesn't know what the truth he has to tell her is... Roxanne "Rox/Roxy" Rosinchy has been friends with Rose since they were five, their families being pretty close. She had a perfect life before her father died two years ago. She's still sweet, she's "amazing and beautiful" as Leo would say. Roxy and Leo have been close, what you would expect when your families have known each other this long, but its hard when the one person you've ever been attracted to is one you're not supposed to love. Read ROXY to figure out what happens between Leo and Roxanne.. and what doesn't happen with the factors playing against them ;) Cover by @bitteur :; #1 in Deaddad :; April 27, 2020 #5 in Bestfriendsbrother :; May 30, 2020 #1 in Roxanne :; February 26, 2021 #37 in teendrama :; March 23, 2021
