Blurb:
Maddox
Yeah, I did time for somethin’ I didn’t do, but what dad wants, dad gets, right? Who cares if I was finally getting to know my sister’s best friend, Kai, and seein’ where things could go? It was too soon to ask him to wait so I forced him to stay away. But, now I’m home. And the math just ain’t mathin’ between what dear ol’ dad had us believin’ and what I was seein’ with my own two eyes.
Somethin’ ain’t right, so I’m puttin’ Kai’s safety first and protectin’ him the best way I know how. By stayin’ by his side. But, for some reason, Mack’s got it in his head that I did somethin’ while locked up and ruined his life because a surprise ally for us has had enough of his shit.
Going against my dad has always been terrifying. I’ve avoided it at all costs, but now that he’s threatening Kai too, will I be able to keep him safe? And at what cost?
Kai
I’ve wanted Maddox since I first laid eyes on him, when Mel introduced me to her twin brother. He was stubborn, pretended we were nothin’, but finally gave in right before our junior year of high school. Things were goin’ great and, of course, just as things were gettin’ good his dad sent him away and he ended things before he left.
Now he’s back and we’ve found our way back together. We’re finally in a good place, until we aren’t. I fought to have him, and meddling family members hell bent on revenge are threatening what we have. Again. I won’t walk away, and I won’t let Maddox walk away again, either. I planned our way out, but as the time to act gets closer, everything changes. In an instant, even the best laid plans can go to hell.
When everything is against them, can two young boys find their way back to each other and find their happily ever after, or will it all fall apart and prove to be just too much?

This has been a wild three months and as final edits and read throughs are all that is left...I am a bundle of nerves!
