    Nikki Braedon's abusive parents never let her forget she was an unexpected surprise. Abandoned at sixteen, she is forced to pay the ultimate price for being unwanted. Her one salvation is Jake, the big brother with whom she shares an unbreakable bond.
     The circumstances of his upbringing made twenty-two year old Jake hard-as-nails. His one soft spot is Nikki, the sister he affectionately calls, "Little." He tries to protect her by keeping her at his side constantly; unintentionally exposing her to situations she's not ready to handle.
     When Nikki's drawn into a rivalry between Jake and an old enemy, a violentchain of events destroys her trust and confidence; causing her to lean on Jake more than usual.
     Realizing his sister must fight her own battles, Jake tries convincing Nikki that growing up and becoming independent doesn't mean losing his love. But it's his best friend, Charlie, who finally gets through...
