She falls for her twin brother's best friend, but their forbidden romance is only the beginning. *** Vanessa Adams knows falling for her twin brother's best friend is a terrible idea. Matt Jones is brooding, irresistible, and exactly the kind of mistake she should avoid. But stolen kisses soon become stolen moments, and before long, keeping their relationship a secret is harder than denying the chemistry between them. Just when Vanessa thinks getting caught is the biggest risk, her brother's growing attachment to Matt and long-buried secrets turn everything upside down. Some loves are forbidden. Some secrets are impossible to outrun.

How do you protect the love of your life if he's sitting in prison for a crime he didn't commit? *** Isabella was happy - happier than she's ever been before in her life. But everything changed when her fiancé Iron Knuckles, or Knux as she calls him, got charged and convicted for a crime that he didn't commit. Knux was known around town as a formidable fighter and served as the Steel Rebels' enforcer. He had some anger issues, especially when it came to protecting her but he'd never kill a guy. Isabella knew this, their friends knew this, probably even the police knew this. But still he's serving time. With him gone, Isabella is stuck between a rock and a hard place and is forced to move to the place that she abhors - her parents' mansion. While her instincts tell her to lay down her guns, just to keep the fragile peace and to prevent anything worse from happening, she is also not the same girl she was before meeting Knux and the Steel Rebels. She has learnt to fight. And she will fight for the man that showed her that unconditional love is a real thing. She'll fight to save him. But what if she is the one that actually needs saving? *** This is the sequel to "Babydoll" and the second part of Isabella's & Knux's story.

In a story about love, identity, and the pressure to live up to the names that came before them, Eliana Grace must decide whether to follow the path expected of her-or create one entirely her own.
