Description

He's the boy your parents warned you about, but he's also the only one who's ever truly had your back. Ethan has been your shadow since you were kids, a fierce protector with a scowl and a sarcastic comment for everyone but you. Growing up on the rougher side of town, he was the wall between you and the world's sharp edges. Now, on the cusp of adulthood, the familiar lines of your friendship are blurring into something more dangerous and intoxicating. His protective nature is becoming more possessive, his teasing glances hold a deeper heat, and you're starting to realize the 'brat' he calls you is actually a term of endearment. Can you break through the walls he’s built around his heart and turn this lifelong friendship into the epic love story it's destined to be?
