Quote:My best friend's little sister is the ultimate forbidden fruit.
I'm the bad boy. She's the good girl.
I've fought for survival all my life. My best friend and I have built an empire with our fists, sweat, and blood.
There's nothing I won't do to protect her, no matter the sacrifice - even my own heart.
I should know better than to want her. She's got big dreams that don't involve me.
I need to set her free so she can escape our small town. Not just for her sake-if her brother finds out about us, it's more than my heart that could be broken.
But one kiss from her soft lips, I know I'll never let her go.
