Dallas needs our book help! This one sounds a bit like past reader questions in this trope, however due to the subject matter, it could be just that this is a frequent issue/twist in this genre…
She asks:
Hi Maryse,
I am trying to find a book (possibly a series) where there is a girl who falls in love with a guy whom she trusts.
I remember they met when she was a pre-teen or maybe even younger in a park. She always used to meet him in a park to start with. I think she grew up to do something in Arts or Marketing.
The guy turns out to be a part of the mafia (I think) or maybe part of a biker MC and he possibly has a brother(s) or sister. Enemies of the guy break into the girl’s house and try to hurt her.
Another thing I remember is that she is quite independent. Possibly there is a father in this series that is extremely rich (I think) and he tries to control all of the siblings.
I might be getting my series’ mixed up too.
Another thing I remember is that yes heβs quite older than her, maybe 10 years or so and at first he tries to hide what he does from her.
Please help.
Thank you
Dallas
Have a guess?
Maryse: One comes to mind, and it is a series, but I can’t remember exactly which one or by who. I know they meet as kids – and he’s in the bad-guy group and he’s older than her and she’s crushing on him and he’s kind of a bully (and I could swear they were the kids in the Irish mafia family). She’s a really good thief/con artist even though she’s so young, and they become friends (and do bad-guy things together). Lots of danger and it kept me on the edge of my seat. And there was a controlling father that was the head of the group… or was it an uncle? Very seedy. Anyway… I don’t think this is the one, but now sheesh, I just created my own reader question. LOL!!!!
Okay your turn!
Harper: UndeniableΒ by Madeline Sheehan is a bit like that. I donβt think itβs the one, but I will keep searching my memory for it.
Dallas: No itβs not the Undeniable series. Although Iβve read this one and itβs quite good too. Another thing I remember is that yes heβs quite older than her, maybe 10 years or so and at first he tries to hide what he does from her.
JulieO: I think Iβve read that book but canβt remember the name. I am not good at remembering names of books or songs etc. I will put my thinking cap on and see if I can come up with something.
Ashley: My first thought was LOCK by Deborah Anastasia but I donβt think thatβs it. But it seems familiar though. Forget Me Not (The Last Kiss Book 1) by Willow Winters? If itβs what Iβm thinking of thereβs a novella prequel from when they are young.
Dallas: Iβll check these out. Thanks so much βΊοΈ
Maryse: And here’s the prequel that Ashley was mentioning that she thought matched your question: Something to Remember: Prequel to Forget Me NotΒ <— Is that it?
Kararara: I think itβs Borden by RJ Lewis

Hey Dallas!
I just added the prequel that Ashley was thinking it could be up there… take a look. Maybe that’s the one?
I think it’s Borden by RJ Lewis
