Caught Up

He told himself she was off limits. He looked her up anyway. That was his first mistake.

Junior knows better. Lauren Marchetti is sweetness and laughter — and he is violence and depravity. Men like him don't get women like her. He pushed her away in high school for a reason.

But the girl he remembered is gone. In her place is a woman whose online presence leads him straight to a play club — and straight into a dark obsession he can't shake. Watching from a distance isn't enough anymore. He needs to make her his.

Lauren has noticed the brooding stranger who keeps showing up. She's intrigued. Their flirty messages are turning into something that feels dangerously real. And she's starting to think red flags might be her favorite color.
