MJCADE
MJ Cade has never been the kind of girl who falls in love.
She's loud, reckless, stubborn, and always one bad decision away from trouble. Most people see a problem. Dallas Winston sees a girl worth staying for.
From the moment they meet, MJ knows she's in trouble.
Not because Dallas is dangerous.
Because for the first time in her life, she cares about someone enough to get hurt.
Between midnight adventures, family drama, impossible plans, and a gang of greasers who slowly become her family, MJ finds something she's never had before: a place to belong. And at the center of it all is Dallas-the one person who never asks her to be quieter, softer, or easier to handle.
When old family wounds reopen and her sister struggles to accept who she's become, Dallas is the one who stands beside her. As the months pass, their friendship turns into something deeper, and before either of them realizes it, they're building a life around each other.
But life has a way of getting complicated.
As MJ and Dallas grow closer, the people around them begin to notice what neither of them can hide.
Not because they say it.
Because they live it.
The way Dallas stands up for her.
The way MJ trusts him without question.
The way they always find their way back to each other.
By the time a chaotic afternoon at Dallas's apartment finally opens Kyla's eyes, everyone else already knows the truth.
Some things don't need to be said out loud.
They're obvious.
Because family is messy.
Love is messier.
And nothing is ever simple when Dallas Winston is involved.
