I live in the shadow of my big brother, Paris. He’s a rising star on the tennis circuit and my life revolves around his schedule of tournaments and training camps. Sure, the perks of travel are great, but spending Christmas in Florida watching Paris at a coaching academy, sweating in the heat instead of being at home wearing cozy sweaters and celebrating with a real Christmas tree is just another reminder that Paris comes first.
And now my parents are traveling to tournaments in Europe with him, but I’m being left behind, staying with Mom’s best friend and our neighbors, the Sinclairs.
Do I like it? Do I have any say in the matter? No, of course not. I’m an afterthought, the inconvenient little sister, and no one considers me.
Jade Sinclair is Paris’s friend and he’s just returned from a semester as a student exchange in London. He’s a senior, a stickler for the rules and he’s bossy, but when I get into trouble, he bails me out. More than once.
Yeah, Jade has had to grow up fast since his dad died, and he probably only sees me as the annoying, rebellious, cat-mad neighbor.
But when things get tough for him, it’s me he turns to for help. And that brings us closer.
Unexpectedly closer.
Jade and I might be falling for each other…
But is he willing to break the rules for us to be together?
