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.

[ORIGINAL VERSION] I fell in love with her, with every moment we spent together. She's the only one to bring out the best in me, though others may see the monster inside. A delicate flower that needed to be protected, at all costs. But, if anyone does anything to her, all hell will break loose. RANKING #2 in cutescences (8/22/23) # 1 in cutescences (3/13/26)
