ABOUT THE BOOK
A man like me isn’t cut out to be a dad.
And if this kid had another option I wouldn’t try to be one now.
But for once I’m going to step up.
I’ll right the worst of old wrongs.
I’ll pretend this last name of mine is something decent instead of a legacy of hard-core criminals.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be free of my sins.
I do know it wouldn't be wise to get close enough to find out.
Into this chaos walks Isabella Gentry.
She was warned to keep her distance from me.
I was the one who warned her.
She’s beautiful. She’s headstrong. She’s spoiled as hell.
And she’s my freaking roommate.
Half of me wants to turn her world upside down in the cruelest way imaginable.
The other half wants to worship the ground she walks on.
This can go one of two ways.
Either I’ll decide to be the worst version of myself.
Or I’ll surrender the past in order to build a future.
And maybe along the way I’ll prove something.
That the guy everyone loves to hate might be redeemable yet...

EXCERPT
“What are you gonna do about it, Izzy? Throw your wine at me?”
She does. She throws her wine in my face. Or at least she tries to. The flick of her wrist comes up short when I rear back and the wine splashes on the floor, leaving her standing there with a stupid empty glass and a puzzled expression. That should have worked, her pretty eyes say. Why is this jackass not covered in my wine backwash?
There’s no effort required to pluck the glass out of her hand. I toss it in the sink, where it promptly shatters.
“Hey,” she complains. “That was Waterford crystal, you dick.”
I chuckle and close in, aware that I’m hard and getting harder. “That’s your whole problem, Isabella.”
Her eyes flash. Her lips pout. In another second she’ll be stamping her bare foot. “What the hell are you talking about?”
“This.” I run a hand low, over the shape of my cock. She can see the rigid outline through my shorts. I know she can. She sucks in a corner of her lower lip and jerks her head to force her eyes away.
“You’re disgusting.”
I chuckle. “You wish you thought so.”

This is an intereconnected book with the Gentry family but it also is connected to Long Lost as it is the story about the brother of the hero in that story, Rafe Hempstead. I have read the Gentry family but not Long Lost, but I will be reading it soon. I absolutely want to learn more about the Hempstead family.
This book stars Isabella or Izzy from the Gentry family, she is Deck's lone daughter who is now moving on to a town in Texas as she is going to get a Master's so she can be a speech therapist. She arrives in town thinking she has a place to stay but ends up losing her apartment and has to find a new place. That is how she ends up with Rafe as a roomie and his new son, Oliver.
Rafe, is a new dad and by new I mean one day old with a 5 year old son and a new job in Texas as he follows his brother, Jay and Caris to Texas. He hopes they will help him be a good dad and have a place for them to stay. Rafe is a very bad boy who is trying to be a good brother and father. And I have never read Long Lost, so I fell really hard for him.
Izzy falls hard for Oliver who she adores and soon after becoming roomies she is very attracted to Rafe but he wants to be a better guy than he has in the past so he tries very hard to resist Izzy.
This was a wonderful story and I loved every character in the story. I fell so hard for them that I cannot wait to read Long Lost and learn more about all these characters. This book includes the Gentry's but in a few scenes, they are not a huge part of this story.
