The Hard Line
A STEAMY, SECRET IDENTITY, SURPRISE PREGNANCY ROCKSTAR ROMANCE
I’ve always been the reliable twin—the grounded one who stayed behind while my sister chased dreams. Until I kiss a masked musician whose touch sets my world on fire.
There's something hauntingly familiar about him - until I discover he’s Jesse O’Donnell, my childhood friend who I’ve secretly loved forever.
The boy who grew into a gorgeous, tortured musician with secrets in his eyes and demons I don't understand.
I’m tangled in a relationship that’s equal parts thrilling and reckless.
With Jesse, I finally feel alive—taking risks, breaking rules, discovering parts of myself I never knew existed.
When I find out I’m pregnant, I know it wasn’t part of the plan—but I already love this baby.
I just never expected him to tell me to get rid of it.
Now I’m on one side of the door. He’s on the other, begging for a second chance.
But I have to ask myself: did Jesse ever take the mask off... or did I just fall for the illusion?
