Take It Back Then

Two people eager to save each other… and missing the truth that’s right in front of them.

Layla Graham has a family who loves her—including fiercely protective older brothers. They’ve kept her from making mistakes, but also her own choices. When she dates their best friend, they back off for the first time, giving her room to breathe but also making her less cautious. After a terrifying encounter, her parents hire a bodyguard.

Jamie Campbell is more than happy to accept the job. Not only does it give him the routine he craves, he enjoys spending time with Layla. Although their chemistry is immediate, loving her isn’t a risk he’s prepared to take. Experience has taught him it always leads to disappointment or pain.

Despite Layla’s father forbidding them from being together and their denial, they fall in love. But they’re kept apart when she finds herself in a new relationship she didn’t want and he realizes he’s found a family he would die to keep.

Can they find their way to each other, or will they be just another tragic love story?

Take It On Now

Six years have passed since Layla ran from her childhood home. She made a good life for herself away from her family, but her sister, Sloane, convinces her it’s time to face the demons in her past. On her first trip back to California, she plans to forgive her family for their wrongdoings while also getting revenge against Alora and Kai Drakos. If she gets to rekindle things with Jamie, that’s the icing on the cake.

Six years have passed since Jamie swore to be Layla’s villain. In her absence, he’s carved a place for himself with her family, and he’s convinced her arrival home is too well-timed to be a coincidence, so keeping her from causing trouble becomes his goal. Making sure she hates him in the process is just a benefit—no way in hell he’s letting this woman anywhere near his heart again.

Together, they discover there’s a lot they don’t know.
