My father, brothers, and nephews. They run this town, and although I've never given them a reason to worry, they treat me like I'm made of glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're wrong, though. I've got it all together - college graduated by twenty-one and a business owner with a perfect record. But I have one secret: I raced to grow up in case he ever came home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucas Morrow grew up with us, but he left when I was thirteen. I've waited and worked to be sure everything is perfect when I see him again. But I've waited years and maybe it's time to move on, get my own place and be my own person with new friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's summer after all and I am my brothers' sister. Did they really think the apple fell that far?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLucas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe thinks her family are the only men watching her. So innocent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd I want to keep her that way. Even though I'm twelve years older, we were always the odd ones out.. She gravitated to me, and I always made sure she wasn't alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I left, I told myself she'd be fine without me. But really, it was just an excuse to escape the guilt. I only meant to come back for a few days, but she's grown up, her brothers are distracted, and one bad decision after another is circling her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as old ghosts. And old enemies. She doesn't want a babysitter anymore, and if she ever finds out why I left town, she'll know why I'm not the best role model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut I'm still the older one. And she still needs supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piatkus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53588156973393,"sku":"9780349435787","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4618\/2960\/files\/QuietOnes.jpg?v=1776781990","url":"https:\/\/lattesandliterature.com\/products\/hellbent-1-quiet-ones-penelope-douglas","provider":"Latte's and Literature","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
