Brat (Jasper Whitlock)

❝ Get on your knees, Red. ❞

Forks, Washington is the kind of place where nothing is supposed to happen.
Which is probably why Brooklyn sticks out so much.
Bella Swan's cousin-sharp-tongued, sarcastic, always a little too honest for her own good. The kind of person people in Forks are used to seeing but never really figuring out. She's known, she's noticed, she's just... never fully understood.
Especially not by the Cullens.
Until Bella comes back to town and everything starts to tilt.
Because Brooklyn has opinions. Loud ones. Especially about Edward Cullen, who she decides she doesn't like from the very first second-and somehow makes that everyone's problem.

Then there's Jasper Hale.

He notices her the second she walks into the room. Something about the way she moves, the way she laughs, the way she looks like trouble waiting to happen, it pulls at him.
She notices him too. And in three hours, it's not just a look, not just a conversation. She sleeps with him. Because when Brooklyn wants something, she doesn't ask for permission.
And Jasper, who's spent decades learning to control everything, suddenly can't control a single thing.
