"She wasn't his little mouse anymore. She wasn't innocent, or small. She was a hurricane; and he wanted to drown in the waves of her storm." • • • Thea Mitchell was always off limits. That was made clear by not one, but two, protective gang leaders. Her older brother, Ryder, made sure everyone knew that touching her was a death sentence. And as the leader of the Phantoms, he had the power to follow through with his threats. Cole Hudson was even more protective, but for different reasons. He'd been Ryder's best friend since diapers, which meant he grew up with Thea. He always felt the need to keep her close, but he didn't truly know why until he returned to Los Angeles for her twentieth birthday. He left for New York when she was thirteen. He was only fifteen, but it was time for him to step up more in the family business. His dad was close to retirement, which meant it was time for Cole to build his reputation as the leader of the Skulls. When he left, he was a kid with a schoolboy crush. But he's not a kid anymore... and neither is she. .................................. Warning: this book contains possible triggers.
