[Thornton Boys - Book 3] __________ Drake. Friends. Family. Basketball. Music; the four most important things in my life. That other thing? The thing all my brothers have? It's never been important to me. Girls were always temporary entertainment, a bit of fun, nothing more. No girl has ever made an impact on me. Not until her; my best friends sister. She flipped everything I thought I knew about girls upsides down and had me believing I was falling for real, for the first time. But I know better now. I know who she really is now. She's a liar, a manipulator, a treacherous snake. I was blinded by her charm and her beauty before, but now I see the ugly within. The true colours. And I hate what I see. Shay Hawthorne thinks she can roll back into my life now? After everything she did? She has another fucking thing coming. *** Shay. Survival. Axel. River. Macauley; the four most important things in my life. That other thing? The thing my brother has with Jax? No thank you, not interested, never was and never will be. My mom gave herself up to guys fast and loose, and I'll be damned if I let myself end up like her. When it comes to boys people think I'm in control, they think I'm a female player, they think I call the shots. I really don't. My brothers best friend proved that to me. And now? He hates me, he wants me gone, he wants me to disappear back to the depraved life I'm hoping to claw my way out of. I don't think so. Drake Daniels, I ain't going no where. For the first time ever, I will call the shots. Just you wait. ________ After the events of the labyrinth, tensions run high as Shay fights to prove herself to her brother and his friends. But can she keep her past life and her present circumstances separate? Can she control herself around Drake..? Will she ever really be welcome in North Bridge? With Axel's trial, Jax and Penn's baby on the way, and a whole tonne of drama in between, get ready to continue the story of the Thornton Boys.
