Dirty Little Secret by L.E. Bross

Lil:
The last place I ever expected to run into the boy who broke my heart was at a Savage Run race.
Almost four years have passed since Roman Capril ghosted me after promising forever. Yes my father became mayor, and yes he moved us from our two bedroom ranch into a much bigger house behind secure gates, but that shouldn’t have changed anything. Not when we were in love.
I thought I was over him, but seeing him reopened old wounds and now I need answers. Why he stopped returning my texts. Why he walked way without any explanation. So I barge back into Rome’s life, not letting the fact that Dad needs to take down the illegal street racers, the Savages, to win his reelection.
Corruption runs deep in Reynolds, North Carolina, and those with the most to lose step it up, putting the man I love in danger. I will do anything to protect Rome, even sacrifice myself, so watch out Dad, falling from that high up is really going to hurt.

Rome:
I’ll never forgive Lilianna Montgomery for betraying me.
We were supposed to be forever and she tossed it away as soon as she was behind those fancy iron gates, choosing that life over me. I never thought I’d see her again, but when an unexpected encounter brings us together, the sparks fly.
Her father wants to take us down, make an example out of the Savages to win his reelection campaign, and Lil is the perfect weapon to destroy his chances. The only catch? To ruin him, I have to let her back in. But the more time we spend together, the more I want her, and not to just use her as blackmail.
Our stories don’t add up and everything I thought I knew is a lie, but it’s too late to change my mind. The stakes are higher than ever and our racing isn’t the only illegal thing happening in the city. If I don’t follow through, my family loses everything, but if I do? The girl I never stopped loving may never forgive me.
Loyalty. Family. Love.

How the hell am I supposed to choose?
