Caught Up

“I want this woman. And I’m a man who always gets what he wants.” Nico Junior Trocci has always known Lauren Marchetti is off-limits. Men like him don’t get to have women like her — not the sweet, bookish girl he pushed away years ago, and definitely not the woman she’s become. But Junior’s never been good at following rules. He watches her from afar, feeding an obsession he swore he’d buried. Now Lauren isn’t the shy girl he left behind. She’s confident, bold — and the only person who’s ever made him feel human. He’s ruthless. Dangerous. A walking red flag.

Good thing red has always been her favorite color. Lauren knows getting tangled up with Junior again is a mistake. He broke her heart once, and she’s not about to let him do it twice. But the more their flirtation turns to fire, the harder it is to remember why she should stay away. Because love like theirs doesn’t fade. It festers. And when buried feelings rise, someone’s bound to get burned.
