USA Today and Wall Street Journalbestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you a full length, standaloneforbidden romanceset in her Maddison Kings University world.

As a teenager, my naïve heart beat for two boys…

Two unattainable, older,forbiddenboys. 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 I was a silly little girl with a 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.

Renee’s Five Star Review 
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is a dark MFM college romance. You will want to heed the warnings in the beginning of the book. It will contain triggers for some readers. I am going to go ahead and give you another warning. You will not be putting this book down once you pick it up. Dishes need doing…they will be there tomorrow. The phone rings…they can call back. Sleep….who needs it. Just be prepared to be reading this book cover to cover before you even think about laying it down.
This is the story Violet Knox and Tristan. Violet has not really been doing too great lately. When she lost her mom five years ago she was totally devastated. Then her biological brother Roman just up and disappears and if that isn’t bad enough, her stepbrother Knox was sent to prison. Tristan however was there for her and helped to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart. Tristan is her brothers best friend, and has had a crush on Violet for as long as he can remember. However he never acted on the way he was feeling because he did not ever want to cross the line or ruin the friendship he had with her brother.
It has been five years now since all the life shattering events have happened and she is now enrolled in college at Madison U. Tristan is there also for his grad studies and is coaching football. Now though both of them are done fighting the way they feel for each other. This is too good to be true really and they are shocked when Knox gets released from prison and comes back for the girl he left behind. He has after all loved Violet since he was sixteen and she has loved him too. What in the world is she going to do? However secrets are about to go flying all over the place and the betrayals that happened will come to light Violet finds that she has a lot to deal with and nothing was ever as it seemed. However she isn’t going to be dealing with things alone. Shes got two men that love her unconditionally and are not going to let down ever again.
I loved reading this book. It really sucks you in and like I said above you don’t put the book down until you are finished. I loved Violet Tristan and Knox. They sure did steal my heart. This book is so good that I know it is one I will be reading over again many times.
