"Oh come on now Levi. There's no need to be threatened. I don't want Kylie... Yet," he said before going upstairs. I replayed those three sentences in my head over and over, pissing myself off even more. That asshole would never have a chance with me. "Don't pay any attention to Tyler. He just wants a reaction out of you," Levi continued calmly before distracting me, kissing my neck softly. I snapped out of my trans and smiled at him. "You know how much I hate your brother right?" Kylie's life is nearly flipped upside down when she's forced to move in with her best friend, Levi, after her own father claims to want no involvement with her. All is well initially, until another problem arises: Levi's older brother, Tyler. Returning home after three years, Tyler proves to be skilled in getting under everyone's skin, but what happens when he begins to find an interest in Kylie? Are his feelings genuine or is Kylie's heart merely a shiny trophy that the brothers will fight over?

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.
