Adele and Renée Reyes have seven older brothers-and with them comes a fortress. Nothing, and no one, gets too close. Not without being interrogated, threatened, or tossed out the door. But secrets don't stay buried forever.
Each mistake chips at the fragile balance between freedom and protection, between laughter and heartbreak. Because for the Reyes brothers, love isn't gentle-it's all-consuming. They would fight, destroy, and even burn bridges to keep their sisters safe. And the twins, caught between wanting to live their own lives and knowing how much they're loved, must decide how much of their truth they can hide. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛: Cameron's voice cut through the silence like a blade. "𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸." Felix leaned in, grin wicked, but his eyes held no humor. "You think it's funny? Flirting with what doesn't belong to you?" 
"She laughed once. That doesn't mean you get to breathe in her direction twice,"growled Asher, pinning the boy by his throat to the wall.

★ NOW PUBLISHED! ★ What do you get when you add the ultimate meet cute + a bruised head? = A whole can of heartbreak. It all starts in aisle three. Lacie O'Connor prefers to see the world in black and white, logical, rational, and natural, like her biology major. She just wants to survive her freshman year of college, but first she must find a can of peas. Instead, she gets hit on the head with a box of cake mix. Trent Montgomery is all saturated and technicolor even in the maroon employee polo. Lacie thought she left him and his sheepish smiling friend at the grocery store but finds him in her most dreaded class: Intro to Philosophy. He sits next to her, and it's all PLATOnic until he presses his foot up against hers. That's all it takes for her to get lost in the philosophy of Trent. What starts out as sidewalk conversations soon leads to study sessions that transform to cuddle sessions that transform to make-out sessions. But just before winter break, Trent steps back. He dodges her texts. He kisses her in private but blows her off in public. Lacie knows miscommunication and mixed signals spread like an invasive plant species, but what she can't figure out is which version of Trent is real. The one she met in aisle three, or the one who likes to get drunk in dorm building basements. © 2015 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting © 2019 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting |Edited/NEW| © 2022 Published version All Rights Reserved |Third Place Winner in #Readytoreadya2018 Young Adult Reads Contest|
