She hurts all of them. She does it to protect them...but most of all, protect herself. You see, she doesn't just do all of this for fun. She does it because if she doesn't do it, she just might lose her mind. As it is, she's already lost her heart...
Excerpt:
"Ha! He probably thought I would fall for him! But honey...that's not how it works. I don't fall for you, you fall for me. I don't take drugs, I am a drug. And once your addicted, even after I'm gone, I'll be in your system forever. You'll still crave me. You'll be frozen in an ocean of attachment. You'll be falling, and I won't be there to catch you. "

My Boyfriend's Brother
Some love stories begin with a kiss. Others begin with a lie. Elisa Kai never meant to fall for the golden boy next door. Damien Jackson was everything she wasn't-effortless smile, easy confidence, and the kind of charm that made the whole world orbit around him. Elisa? She was the quiet girl everyone whispered about-the one who stared at the Jacksons' perfect life from her window, convinced she didn't belong in their world. Convinced she didn't belong at all. But then, she crossed a line. And Damien chose her. For a while, it felt like a dream. Like she was finally more than just the rumors. But every fairytale has a shadow. Drake Jackson is that shadow. Damien's younger brother is sharp where Damien is soft, chaotic where he's calm-and he watches Elisa like he knows exactly what she's hiding. He's arrogant. Infuriating. Always one step too close with a smirk that drives her insane. And worse? He never goes away. When Damien leaves for college, everything changes. Drake becomes the new king of the school while Elisa is fighting to make a name for herself in fashion. And what was once teasing turns into something darker. Something magnetic. Then Damien comes back. Now Elisa is caught between the boy who made her feel seen-and the one who never stopped watching. Old sparks reignite. New tensions boil over. What started as a simple love story begins to unravel into something far messier, far more dangerous. Secrets simmer beneath the surface-about the past, about what's real, and about the Jackson brothers themselves. And then...tragedy shatters everything. What follows is heartbreak, silence, and blame. As the rumors grow louder, the whispers get crueler, and her world spins further out of control, Elisa must face one truth: Sometimes, the person who saves you... is also the one who could destroy you. And not every love story survives the truth.
