63 parts Complete MatureWhen Ella's life falls apart, she escapes to her brother Noah's house-
only to find his best friend Jax living there too.
Jax, the mysterious, silent type with dark eyes and darker secrets.
Jax, who Noah swears she should stay away from.
Jax, who hides the kind of desire that could ruin her... or save her.
Ella only wants a fresh start.
But trouble follows her-
in the form of bruises she can't explain, a past she can't talk about,
and a boy who taught her the wrong meaning of "love."
Then one night, Jax finds her shaking on the doorstep.
And everything changes.
Behind locked doors and low voices, she learns two things:
1. Jax is dangerous in ways no one warned her about.
2. She has a part of herself she's never admitted-
a part that answers to him.
A hair tie dropped in a hallway.
A whispered "sorry, master."
A set of rules spoken in the dark.
What begins as protection turns into something far deeper-
something Ella never knew she needed,
and Jax never believed he deserved.
But Noah can never find out.
And Ella's past is catching up fast.
He wants to claim her.
She wants to belong.
And once Jax has her... he doesn't plan to let go.
A slow-burn, high-tension, brother's-best-friend romance with dominance, secrets, and the kind of chemistry that destroys every rule.
