Off limits

Annabeth Portman

Anna grew up under her brother's rules. Ever since their parents died in a tragic car accident, her brother Jake has stepped up and become her sole guardian. He has always been overprotective.

But Anna thought that would finally change now that she was starting college at Ashwood University.

Except it only got worse.

Jake has always treated her like she's still the little girl he needs to protect. But Anna is eighteen now, and she's determined to finally have the freedom she's always wanted.

Unfortunately for her, Jake has other plans.
And one of those plans involves his roommate.

She doesn't need another person telling her what she can and can't do.

But the more time they spend together, the more his cold exterior fades and he becomes someone she is desperate to understand.

Someone that is exactly what Jake's rules forbids

Theodore Holloway

Theo has never been the kind of man anyone would call safe. Abandoned by parents who chose drugs over him, he was raised by an uncle who treated him less like family and more like an investment. Surrounded by money, maids, and strangers, Theo learned one thing early:

Love is something you earn. And sometimes, something you never get.

Cold. Cruel. Unapologetic. Theo keeps everyone at a distance.
Until Jake asks him for a favor.
Watch Anna.
It should be simple.

Keep Jake's little sister out of trouble. Make sure she gets home safely. Keep the idiots at college away from her.

But Anna isn't the helpless little girl Theo expected. She's stubborn. Sweet. Infuriating.

And somehow, she's slowly breaking through every wall he's spent his entire life building.

The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to remember that she's Jake's little sister.

She's off-limits.

And Theo knows better than anyone what happens when you want something you're not supposed to have.

But sometimes the person you're forbidden to love is the only person who makes you feel like you're finally home.
