Vanderpump Rules [1]

If there was one thing everyone in West Hollywood could agree on, it was that Veronica "Ronnie" Taylor didn't belong in this world-at least, not in the same chaotic, tequila-soaked one her big brother Jax ruled.

She was the baby of the group, the one who still said please and thank you in a town where people said shots? instead. While everyone else at SUR flirted with trouble, Ronnie smiled through it-sweet, soft-spoken, and so heartbreakingly good that even Lisa Vanderpump herself had taken her under her wing.

Maybe that's because Lisa knew where she'd come from. Knew what-or rather who-Ronnie had run from.
An ex-boyfriend who had loved her in all the wrong ways, left bruises on her heart that no one could see. It was Lisa who'd made the calls, found her a place to stay, and brought her to SUR, telling her gently, "You're safe here, darling."

To everyone else, Ronnie was Jax's little sister-the group's baby, the virgin, the one Stassi would literally kill for if anyone so much as made her cry. But underneath her quiet smile, she carried the kind of past that didn't just disappear in the California sun.

Still, in a friend group built on scandal and heartbreak, innocence was a rare kind of power.
And Ronnie Taylor had no idea how dangerous it was to have everyone want to protect her-especially when one person might want her for something else entirely.
