Ask anyone, and they'll tell you I'm the good girl. The quiet one. James Grey's innocent little sister. 
But they don't know I have a damning secret. 

Living in the shadow of my older brother isn't as bad as it sounds. James and I are really close, and I know he only wants the best for me. But when he forbids me from getting involved with any of his basketball teammates, my heart plummets to my feet. 

The problem: I've had a crush on one of them, Noah, star player and James life long best friend, for years. 
He's callous, detached, a womanizer, and the polar opposite of the kind of guy James would like to see me with. 

A slip up after a night out drinking sends my life into a spiral. A simple text changed everything. My world was thrown off its axis, because now?
Noah saw me. Suddenly, he was aware of my existence. 

And it turns out Noah loves playing games off the court, too.

"I really like you...but have no idea how to tell you." She stirs slightly beneath me, but she doesn't wake up.

Avery wrapped an arm around my waist to catch me before I could get out the door. He pushed me up against the door, trapping me between his body and the door. "What's wrong?" I asked innocently. His face hovered over mine, much closer than I was used to. His gaze didn't leave mine as he spoke. "It would have been different if I had told him from the start. You wanted me to lie for you. You started this. If we tell him what really happened, he would be pissed at me for lying to him." "Stormie, you got a phone call!" Mason yelled up the stairs. The closeness between Avery and me started to make my legs feel like Jell-O, and I couldn't make sense of it. Our breathing became heavier. His eyes trapped mine. "Answer him," Avery murmured. "Uh," I stammered. I cleared my throat. "Be down in a minute!" My voice came out higher than usual. My gaze still couldn't escape Avery's. My heart raced wildly as his chest rose and fell against mine. Avery's gaze flickered to my lips. What's happening? My gaze fell to his mouth, which was moving closer to mine.

"What is it that you want from me? Huh?" He spat, raising his voice. There was a vein in his neck and he was turning red. I've never seen him this upset, I must've really hit a nerve. His lips were tight but they were so juicy and kissable. "I want you to tell me- and don't lie- tell me that you want to kiss me. Tell me that you want me and that you don't care about Damon's feelings like you claim. Show me, Isaiah. Show me that you don't care." I said the last part in a low tone and looked at him under my lashes. Isaiah opened his mouth slightly to say something, but nothing came out. His gaze was fixed on me with his bright hazel eyes without blinking. He was clenching his jaw as if his life depends on it. "You're playing a really dangerous game Kitten." He says, his voice low and raspy. He was trying to hold himself back. "You started it when you let me kiss you." I whispered seductively. "So let's play." ." ~ ~~~~ When Zariah's father sells her to the Mafia, she's feeling the ultimate betrayal. She's told to be wed to the Don, Damon, as a way to pay back her father's debts to the family. She's given a bodyguard, Isaiah, to look after her until her wedding day. Isaiah sparks something inside of her- something dark and driven. She can't stay away from him even though he's loyally sworn to the family and the family alone. She wants him and he wants her. As they say, Forbidden things has its charm.
