    "description": "<p>They introduced me to the dark. Now, it just might swallow me whole ... Everything is a mess. My mom is being blackmailed by a mafia Boss. My family tree has a few branches I was not anticipating. And the men I've grown to love ... well, they might have betrayed my trust. I need space. Some time away to clear my head and collect my thoughts. But they won't let me have it. Colton is the first to come after me. He's a mess, too. Seems my boys went on a bit of a deadly bender without me. And Colton delivers their trouble right to my doorstep. Again. So now, I need their protection. But things will change. Because from now on, I need them to tell me everything. Show me everything. Teach me everything. And if I'm really going to be a part of their world, I know I'll have to be strong. Stronger than I've ever been. If I can't do that, if I break or even bend under the pressure, there's no way I'll survive it ... there's no way I'll survive them.</p>\n<p><em>Colton</em>, book 2 in the 'Boys of Brooke Hollow Academy'-series, is a dark, forced proximity, why choose romance. Happily ever after guaranteed (eventually).&nbsp;</p>",
