The Brothers by Kimberley Chambers
Meet the Bond brothers.
You don’t want to be on the wrong side of this family…
Beau Bond hates fiercely and loves hard. He’ll do anything to protect his twin Brett, and his girlfriend Jolene. Brett is a survivor. He’s always followed his brother’s lead, even if it means he’s lived to regret it. As Beau and Jolene get hitched, their feuding families must put their differences aside.
But the brothers have a dark secret that could cause a war between both sides … and what better place to reveal all than at a wedding…
When their past sins resurface to threaten those closest to them, will the brothers still have each other’s backs?
