Caught Up

Nico “Junior” Trocci has always known Lauren Marchetti is off limits, men like him don’t get to keep women like her, and that’s exactly why he pushed her away back in high school and still keeps his distance now. But distance doesn’t mean indifference, because he watches her from afar, following her online, unable to look away from the confident, stunning woman she’s become, so different from the quiet, bookish girl he once knew, and now he can’t stop thinking about her. He’s dangerous, the kind of man people warn you about, reckless and full of red flags, which might be a problem if red wasn’t my favorite color.

Lauren “Lo” Marchetti hasn’t forgotten what Junior did to her, he broke her heart once, and she refuses to let history repeat itself, but the more their paths cross and their chemistry builds, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings she thought she buried, reminding her exactly why she fell for him in the first place. When the past comes back to complicate everything, they’re both forced to confront what still lingers between them and decide if they’re willing to risk it all for another chance, because sometimes love isn’t safe, and sometimes it’s not meant to be.

Caught Up is a fast-paced dark romance featuring a morally grey male lead, with intense themes that may not be for every reader.
