NB

She grew up beside them. Then they stopped seeing her. The Adair, Castillo, Callaway, Medici-Astor and Visconti families built more than a business—they built a life together. Four houses. Their Fathers ( gansters apparently turned corporate) Marcus, Elias, Kaiser, Hunter and Holt grew up together and created a life together leaving the properties to the next generation. One driveway. One family. Marco, Archer, Milo and Luca weren’t just her brothers’ best friends. They were home. Until high school changed everything. Years later, nothing’s different…or so she thinks. The boys are now infamous for their reckless street races, fast cars, filthy mouths and even faster reputations. They’re the heartbreakers everyone wants and nobody keeps. She’s the quiet constant they stopped noticing years ago. Now twenty, she’s studying law, working late nights at one of the city’s busiest bars and living life on her own terms. Beautiful, effortlessly stylish and impossible to forget, she has no interest in chasing four men who made it painfully clear she was never an option. But when the family business forces them back into each other’s lives, old memories begin colliding with new ones. An argument starts lasting a little longer. A glance lingers. The girl they once overlooked suddenly becomes impossible to ignore. Because some lines were never crossed. Some friendships were never truly over. And sometimes the slowest love stories begin with the people who stopped looking years ago. No Brakes is a contemporary slow-burn romance packed with childhood friends, brothers’ best friends, enemies-to-lovers, found family, underground street racing following their fathers footsteps, luxury cars, messy family dynamics, banter, heartbreak and the kind of love that takes years to find its way home.
