SHE’LL BREAK ALL THE RULES TO BE HIS GOOD GIRL.

IZZY
From a young age, I knew who I was and what I liked. So when Leo became a part of the picture, I thought he could be my Mr. Right.
Things seemed perfect for over a year before I started to really see his true colors. He started by slowly breaking the rules we set up at the beginning of our relationship, then he wasn’t coming home until almost 2 am most nights, but my final straw was when he stonewalled me and refused to talk about the issues we were having.
Realizing quickly he wasn’t the person I thought he was, I knew I needed to get out.
Only, he wasn’t on board, and instead left me beaten and bruised. I couldn’t turn to the cops, so I went to the only person I thought could help. Dax– my brother’s best friend. I never expected his help to stir up old feelings, though, and a new secret to keep…

DAX
Isabella Thatcher was never anything more than my best friend’s little sister until she called me asking for a favor.
Being the Dom I am, I’m no stranger to secrets, so when she called in the middle of the night crying for my help without telling her family, I felt obligated to say yes.
It was the doctor in me that took her into my home and helped nurse her wounds. It let me see her in a light I never would have imagined.
Izzy isn’t the kid I used to know. Now she’s a woman, begging for dominance in the bedroom and comfort outside of it.
Ignoring how wrong our relationship may seem to others, I keep her close and vow to help her in any way I can, no matter the price.
