Duke by Teagan Brooks

Reese:
My life hadn’t been easy.
At age 11, my parents and two younger siblings were murdered and I went to live with my grandmother.
At age 18, I broke up with my boyfriend of almost one year because he wasn’t who I thought he was. He further proved that when he put his hands on me.
Two weeks later, my grandmother died.
I moved to a new town with my last living relative, my older brother, Carbon, to finish my senior year of high school at Croftridge High.
Then, I met Duke Jackson.
One decision changed my life forever.

Duke:
My life was in a good place.
My sister was happy and healthy and I had my club.
I couldn’t ask for more, or so I thought.
The night I ran into Reese Walker, I realized I could ask for more.
I wanted more, and it was her.
I almost had her, but I messed up and she walked away.
I was angry and hurt, so I let her go, until the night she came crashing back into my life.
Secrets were exposed and ghosts from the pasts resurfaced, but I refused to let her walk away from me a second time without a fight.
