Twisted Love

Book one of Ana Huang's viral Twisted series. Alex Volkov is a cold, controlled hedge-fund powerhouse who has sworn off relationships since a childhood tragedy shattered his ability to feel. When his best friend Christian asks him to look after his shy, guarded sister Ava while he's overseas, Alex reluctantly agrees, only to find the walls he's built around himself starting to crack under Ava's quiet warmth. A grumpy/sunshine, brother's-best-friend romance packed with angst, protectiveness, and slow-burn heat, this is the book that launched an entire romance-reading generation on BookTok and set up the interconnected Twisted and Kings of Sin universes.
