Off-limits.

That's what Jude is to me.

My older brother doesn't trust me with his player of a best friend.

Which is totally fine, because I'm not interested.

As Jude and I reluctantly become friends, I start to see that there's more to him than others notice. But I still won't go there, not when I have a crush on someone else. But Jude's the perfect person to help show me the ropes when it comes to the opposite sex, besides it's not like he'll get attached to me.

Except he does.

And the thing about broken boys?

They're way too easy to fall for.

Broken Boys Can't Love - Special Edition by Micalea Smeltzer explores these complicated emotions and connections, inviting readers into a story of unexpected friendships and love.
