She's the one girl I want but can't have. Lainey. James. Barkley. We've practically grown up together. One mistake, one major slip, and everything's screwed up. I know I shouldn't want her, I know my sister would be livid. But I can't bring myself to give a damn. Lainey Barkley, with her long chestnut brown hair and eyes as blue as the ocean with the attitude of a cactus. she's clawed her way under my skin without even trying and now, I have to have her. I won't let anything, or anyone stand in my way, including her. The only problem is, she's my sister's best friend.

He's my best friend's brother. Her twin brother, and a guy I've known for years. Holland Grant Monroe. He knows exactly how to push my buttons, and he enjoys pushing until I snap. He knows my history with my parents, with relationships. So when one night turns the wrong direction and the casual friendship we've had for years blows up in smoke, my first instinct is to run. But he won't let me. He won't let me go, and god help me, I think I want to stay.
