Off-Limits
Mia James always knew the rules-her brother Jordan's best friend, Enzo, was completely off-limits. But rules were never meant to be easy. Enzo has been a constant presence in her life, a shadow in the background-silent, brooding, untouchable. He doesn't let people in. He doesn't talk about his past. He keeps his distance from everyone... except Jordan. But when Mia, Jordan, and Enzo all end up at the same college, the lines between them start to blur. Suddenly, Enzo isn't just the guy who crashes on their couch, the guy who barely acknowledges her existence. He's everywhere-on campus, at parties, in her thoughts. And Mia can't ignore the way he looks at her when he thinks no one is watching. The closer she gets, the more she realizes Enzo is hiding more than just his emotions-he's carrying the weight of a family he never talks about, scars he refuses to show. And while Mia starts to see the cracks in his carefully built walls, she knows one thing for sure... Falling for Enzo is a mistake. But some mistakes are worth making.Complete
