Publisher Description
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Tracy Lorraine comes a new standalone dark MFM college romance.
As a teenager, my naive heart beat for two boys....
Two unattainable, older, forbidden boys. The kind of boys mothers warn their daughters about.
Tristan was the guy everyone wanted...but he was also my older brother's best friend. Smart, kind, and hot as hell, with a one-way ticket straight to the NFL.
And then there was Knox...my bad-boy stepbrother. Only a year older, he made me feel like it was just a silly crush until the first time he kissed me.
The hot, soon-to-be-inked-up gangster from the wrong part of town broke every rule, and shattered hearts.... I just never expected one of them to be mine.
All these years later, I can barely remember the shy girl I was back then, back before Knox Bowman burned me.
Now I'm a junior at Maddison Kings University, and they just walked back into my life, throwing my world into a tailspin. Tristan is there for me when things go up in smoke. And Knox is there striking matches, tempting me like a ghost in the night with his darkness.
But I'm all grown up now and I'm ready to go after what I want.
And my damaged heart still wants them both.
Things are different now though.
They're lying to me...and the secrets about my past have the power to tear my heart in two.

Tracy Lorraine turned up the heat for this steamy hot MFM romance novel, a novel set in her Maddison Kings University world, the story stands on its own so you will not have an issue jumping in an existing world, everything you need to know is in the descriptive details. Violet’s life was forever changed when her family home went up in flames, she lost so much than the house, she lost her mother who perished in the fire, her brother who bailed on her and a stepbrother convicted for the setting that fire and killing her mother and he was more than just a stepbrother. Five years later, Violet is attending Maddison Kings University and trying to live her life like any college girl, she has some amazing roommates too. Then “he” walks back into her life, her brother’s friend Tristan, he left to play professional football, but an injury sidelined him and he came back to MKU to be near her. He made a promise to her brother that he would watch out for her and take care of her, but it does not take long to realize she is no longer the kid sister, she is a beautiful young woman, one he has trouble staying away from. Violet always had a crush on Tristan but she was always off limits, but times are different now and as much as he wanted to respect her brother’s wishes, he is having a hard time keeping his hands to himself. When she needs a place to stay, he takes her in and the chemistry between them is undeniable and they could only deny themselves for so long before giving in to their desires. And just when things were going their way, life throws a curve ball their way, Knox gets an early release from prison and wants to make things right with Violet, set the record straight and make his claim on her. Can Violet handle the truth and the lies she has been living with these past five years? There are a lot of layers to this well written and cleverly plotted story, it has plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, some angst and some steamy romance. Tracy Lorraine, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for wonderful narration, Tracy Lorraine chose the perfect cast to bring her characters and story to life. Stella Hunter, J.F. Harding and Jason Clarke are mega talented narrators and a treat to your ears. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying, gave each a voice that suited their character’s persona and was believable in every role they played. Hunter nails it as Violets, grasps her every emotion and has you feeling every single one, Clarke does the same for Tristan, bringing out his possessiveness and alpha side. J.F. Harding, as the alpha bad boy, is just as amazing. All three are fabulous at performing the roles of the secondary characters too. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
