How was it possible to feel scared and exhilarated all at once? * * * * * Small-town girl, Addison Monroe, has plans to make the most out of the summer before her senior year. Once school begins, she'll be bogged down with the stress of college applications, making her precious free time a distant memory.

BOOK THREE. DUE FOR MAJOR EDIT For the last year, Betty Larsson has been trying to rebuild her shattered confidence, promising herself that she would never touch a man again after her ex-boyfriend ripped her heart out from her chest so cruelly. From the outside looking in, her life seemed perfect with a budding music career, legions of devoted fans and a debut album that hit number one in thirty-two countries overnight. What more could a girl want? Stability. Trust. Love. Fierce, protective and loyal, Finn Moretti is a born fighter. In his youth, he ankle locked and knee barred men into submission for a fat cheque, but now he's following an up and coming pop star around like a goddamn lost puppy. One hot, sweet and all-consuming pop star. Finn has one objective in his mission to look after Betty Larsson: take out the enemy. In the midst of success, inhibition dropped giving the faceless predator behind the screen the perfect opportunity to strike out. Neither expected to feel so trapped in each other's webs, and there is no denying the connection. But, it's not in either's best interests to start something they can't finish, or is it? *This book is not a standalone. Please read Love in the Dark and A Lazy Love first for some plot lines to make sense. ☺️* Larsson Sibling Series reading order: Love in the Dark - Book One A Lazy Love - Book Two Protecting Love - Book Three All rights reserved. ©2017 HT.Ellis
