The kind of secret that messes everything up.

And now I’ve gone and screwed it all up by sleeping with her. "This story has it all—tension, angst, suspense and heartbreak. I've smiled, laughed, cried and was angry at some point wanting to shake them both. It is not often I feel so connected to the characters, but Nina has accomplished just that." - Amazon Reviewer "I totally loved her smart mouth and back-talking to Jett and that it just sets him off even more. Every time she got smart, he got hotter and hotter for her, and the sex was off the charts!" - Amazon Reviewer (Be The One was originally book two in the Crave Series. It has been combined with the first book to create one standalone novel.) Rockstar Romance Friends to Lovers Romance
