Seventeen-year-old Violet Lockwood has always been a rule breaker. 
But when her parents both pass away, now she is in charge of her twelve-year-old sister Kylie. Violet decides to move to a sleepy town in Pennsylvania in order to protect her and her sister. 
Violet's expertise is in fighting, and the only way for her to earn money is to participate in underground street fights.  Trying to escape child services, and trying to help her sister live a normal childhood, Violet is in for a bigger challenge then she expected. 

What lies in store for Violet in her new home? And what happens when she enrolls in the local high school?

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

Everything was fine with her and her little sister. After something tragic happens, finding the man who did it was her goal. She was alone now, fighting and clawing her way to the top. Meeting him wasn't great, she was angry with him for almost beating her. She was the best and he was too. Thinking it was a one time, one night thing was a stupid thought. He wasn't safe and he didn't think he was really a great person at all, but he was a good fighter. So was she, the best fighter he had seen before including himself. Becoming part of a family wasn't on her to do list, yet here she is. Meeting new people, doing new and exciting things, and falling for a man she never thought would even look her way. His smile was captivating. She fell without even realizing it. His eyes were her favorite thing by far.
