She's the quiet girl, the "easy" daughter, the sister of a soldier deployed thousands of miles away. But after one disastrous party and a pair of bruises that won't let her forget it, her silence is starting to feel like a cage. She expected to fade back into the background. She didn't expect Tucker Rhodes.

But when he sees the marks on Bella's skin, the ice melts into a protective fire. Now, Bella is caught between an ex-boyfriend who won't let go, a predator who thinks he's untouchable, a trio of dangerous guys she meets on a gloomy night, and a boy with busted knuckles and sparkling blue eyes who calls her "sweetheart" and walks her to class. In the aftermath of the smoke, Bella has to decide: is she worth the trouble Tucker is willing to stir up? © [2026] BedazzledPepperSpray. All Rights Reserved.
