I thought I wanted my stepbrother, but then I met his cousin.

I’ve been banished for bad behavior.
Exiled away to some farmhouse out in the middle of Hickville, Missouri to be set straight by my ex-cop step-uncle, Charlie.
I miss Chicago. I miss my friends. Above all, I miss my bad boy stepbrother, Rick. The only person in the world that wants me around.

Charlie has three rules:
1. Put everything back where you found it.
2. Don’t leave the house without supervision.
3. Stay away from his son, Tobias.

He’s untouchable.
In more ways than one.

I walked in on Tobias changing.
It was a total accident, but I didn’t cover my eyes.
It wasn’t his perfect body that kept me from looking away.

It was the bruises.

They were everywhere, like red and blue paint splattered across his ribs and arms.
He’s hiding something but he’s not telling.

Luckily, I’m not too keen on living by the rules.

I follow him underground — literally — and catch him going head to head with some of the most vicious fighters in the country.
The Midwest Alphas. An illegal MMA fighting championship.

Tobias is the local favorite to win it all.
But there’s something he wants more than to be the Alpha champion…

And he’s looking right at me.
