What is up with your dad?” Micah Rawlings would never dream of rebelling against her father’s strict rules and regulations—until she meets her new step-mother, who just happens to be younger than she is. Add some stalkers, extreme makeovers, and forbidden boyfriends, and Micah can’t decide if she’s going crazy or finally finding a little bit of happiness. Phillip Rawlings isn’t ready to lose control of his daughter just yet. Bryce Jorgenson is off limits, and Phillip will do anything to protect his daughter from him—even if that means revealing a dark and destructive secret. And Bryce’s former girlfriend, Michelle, is only too happy to come home from her mission and pick up where she and Bryce left off.
