The Hard Line

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 tell him I’m pregnant, I brace for everything... except when he tells 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? A soulful, slow-burn rockstar romance where childhood friends become lovers, a masked musician hides behind his lyrics, and love becomes the melody that heals them both. The Hard Line is the third book in the Blood & Bone legacy series, a second gen novel featuring the children from Paula Dombrowiak's Blood & Bone series. *An interconnected standalone series. You DO NOT have to read the Blood & Bone series first.
