Back to the Bayou we go. The newest chapter of the Brotherhood Protectors are taking on a different kind of job this time around!

Felina is a better human than me. If my boyfriend cheated with my best friend neither of them would ever show their faces again. However, Felina takes the high road and when she thinks on it more she realises she's not as heartbroken as she should be. But after a night out with the girls she's manhandled and left rough around the edges and fearful.

Enter Lucas. He's been trying to gain Felina's attention but she was just not paying attention. Now he has the chance to step in and be the fake boyfriend/bodyguard she needs. Lucas is a complete Golden Retriever, cinnamon roll boyfriend, wrapped around a bada&& core!

Felina is warmth, happiness and a good soul. She has the town on her side and even when they are throwing eligible men in her path, she still loves them. It takes a great writer for me to feel pity and even a bit of happiness for the skeavy best friend/boyfriend.
