My Girl to Use

Zora

Helping soothe my sick baby brother is the last thing I would have expected from my sexy-as-sin neighbor, Jax, but he doesn’t hesitate to scoop up Levi and gently lull him into a much needed sleep. I assume it’s a one-time thing, but it seems little Levi has other plans. He attaches to Jax like an imprinted duckling, and soon the three of us are spending all our time together. I’ve never had a family before, and as Jax and I grow closer, it feels like that’s where we’re headed. But Jax has secrets, ones that could threaten the life I’ve been building for Levi. I’m falling in love with my neighbor, but I have to protect my baby brother, and the more I learn, the more it seems becoming a family was only ever meant to be a dream. Reality is far more complicated.

Jax

I was born into privilege, I’d never deny that. But with privilege comes expectations I don’t want to meet. So I left. I didn’t plan to stay gone forever, just long enough to figure out how to have the life I want. But when I meet Zora and Levi, what I thought I wanted shifts. Before I know it, Levi has me wrapped around his little finger and I’m falling fast for Zora. Love and family were never part of my vision for the future, but now I’m wondering if loving them is what I was meant to do all along. So when my past catches up with me, I’ll do anything to keep Zora and Levi from being caught up in the storm. I know I can protect them, but can I save this fragile thing we’re building, or will our love be yet another casualty to the life I never wanted?

Not all who are lost want to be found.

But love has a way of finding you wherever you are.

Wilder House is a safe haven where those who need it can go to hide, to heal, and to reinvent themselves.

In the heart of LA, Wilder House is run by Wilder Tate, an ex-con and former gang member. It’s not a halfway house, not exactly. The residents rarely stay long and always keep to themselves, but they all have one thing in common: they’re lost. Some by choice, others by circumstance. Sometimes, they find what they need at Wilder House. Sometimes, what they need finds them.
