About this book

There are few people in this world I thought I could count on. My brother. My two best friends. And him. Jordy. Problem is, Jordy thought protecting me was his sole mission in life. He gave up everything for me and my brother, including his freedom. Losing him left me hollow and empty. But after three long years, I've learned to live without him. Until I get mixed up with a guy who has dangerous connections in Horn River and everything begins to crash down around me just in time for my senior year of high school. Possessive boyfriend with a penchant for violence. Best friend turned enemy. Fights with my big brother. Everything's a mess and I'm not sure there's any fixing it. I might just need that bully ex-convict who'll do anything-again-to keep me safe. All I want is peace, happiness, and love. And I won't go down without a fight in order to get it. I'm a Hornet after all. They call me Little Hornet, but I'm not so little anymore... This is a full-length high school friends-to-lovers, forbidden, and new adult romance with high angst, suspense, and gutting emotion. It's book two in the Horn River Hornet series that will have interlinking storylines. Little Hornet shouldn't be read as a standalone and is the continuation of a four-book planned series that gives each Hornet a book. The first book in the series is the only MM story. The others, including this one, are MF. **This book was formerly book 2 in the Hood River Hoodlum series. The stories themselves are the same but certain elements have changed.**
