Romeo Estrada is danger and temptation all rolled into one and something I didn’t even know I needed.
- Kendall Murphy

Sixteen years ago he ruined my life. And every day since, I’ve been trying to wipe his existence from my mind. But even though my hatred for him runs deep, when it comes to family, there’s nothing thicker than blood. And being on the other side of the world still wasn’t far enough away for him to find me.

I didn’t ask for much; just a distraction. Something simple to deflect my scattered mind from all the negative voices that force a bottle into my hand.

I just didn’t expect her.
She’s the girl next door, and way WAY too inexperienced for me.

But when she asks me to be her fake boyfriend—for just one weekend—I know I shouldn’t. But there is something about her that calls to me. So I make one rule: no touching—nothing inside the hotel room.

It’s simple, yet impossible, because I crave her in a way that terrifies me.
I want to possess her; mould her into something she’s too pure to understand. But I refuse to be the destroyer of her innocence; to hurt her in the way my father hurt my mother.

As the lines between us become more and more blurred, I must decide: Do I protect her from my legacy of pain, or drag her into my world?
