All Horns and Rattles (Baxter Boys ~ Rattled #4)

📖 The Scoop

Twelve years since Nina White’s family was taken away.

Twelve years since she’s seen her older brothers and younger sister, and she’s pretty sure they’ve forgotten about her. If they haven’t, why haven’t they found her?

Twelve years she’s lived in the system but now that she’s eighteen, she’s on her own and has control of her life.

Tennyson “Tex” Lippencott came to New York with dreams of becoming a boxer.

He’ll never make it big, but that’s okay. His dream is to remain here and one day own his own gym and he found the perfect place for his training at Miguel’s Gym, and only has a year and a half before he earns the degree necessary to move on to the next phase of his life.

Tex has known Nina for two years, since she was a smart-mouthed, tough teen working with him. Except something happened in the last six months that he is finding difficult to manage—he’s fallen in love with her. This was not supposed to happen, but he doesn’t exactly want to fight it either.

Nina has had it bad for Tex for a few months, not that she’d ever tell him. His sweet smile and heart the size of Texas is way too good for her and even if he did care, as soon as he learned the ugliness of her past, he’d distance him in a heartbeat. If it’s one thing she learned since she was taken from her family, was to build those walls and keep them reinforced so nobody can ever hurt her again.

If only he’d leave her alone and quit insisting that she find her family. The family she’s afraid had forgotten her.

Can Tex tear down her walls and will she allow him to.
