Risk the Fall - Paperback

by Wander Aguiar (Photographer), Riley Hart (Author)

Riven

I've never been great at letting people in. Life is easier if I bury my feelings. People tend to let you down, which is only proven when my best friend, Rex, accidentally kills a man and lets me take the fall.

When I get out of prison, the last thing I want is to go back to Clayton, Oregon, but it's where my grandma lives, the only person who's always had my back. My plan is to stay out of trouble, steer clear of my old crew, save up, and the second we can, leave town for good.

Parrish

I want nothing to do with my family and their illegal activities. With Riven back, I worry things will get worse. He and Rex have always brought out the worst in each other, but then I discover Riven went to prison for something my brother did, and my family isn't happy to have him home.

Riven wants nothing to do with me, and I don't blame him. But like a moth to the flame, I'm drawn to him. It starts out as mutual lust, Riven sating the pleasure he craves, while I get to fulfill my first-crush fantasies. But with every moment, I see there's more to Riv than anyone knows.

Not everyone would see him as a good man, but to me, he's the boy who used to try to keep my family's lifestyle from becoming mine.

And now he's the man who risked his heart to fall in love with me...and the one who'd risk more to protect me.

Risk the Fall is an ex-best friend's brother romance that contains violence, drug use, crime, and death of a non-main character.
