She’s a girl who will stop at nothing to control anyone and everything around her. She craves power and doesn’t care if she has to hurt Elizabeth to get it.
Nathaniel Morgan has spent his whole life fighting for his twin brother, Nicholas. Somewhere along the way, he lost himself. Now he’s just getting by.

Both are caught off-guard when unexpected sparks fly between them. This was not in their plans. Will Nathaniel and Elizabeth be able to escape a past that still plagues them?

Review
“For Nicky” is a heartwarming and sweet love story that tackles a number of difficult topics.
Nate Morgan has spent his entire life protecting his twin brother Nicky from bullies. Although he is completely committed to his family, he has never been serious about women. Sticking to one night stands with zero emotion involved has worked just fine for Nate up to this point and he had no intentions of that changing, that is until Elizabeth walked into his life.
Elizabeth Decker has always lived in the shadow of her beautiful sister Audrey. Her self-esteem has taking a major beating through the years due to the constant torment Audrey has tortured her with on a daily basis. Elizabeth doesn’t believe she could ever get a guy like Nate; especially when Audrey has already been with him!
Both Nate and Elizabeth are new to the idea of a relationship and are learning as they go along. These two fall pretty hard, pretty fast and end up having to deal with some extremely difficult situations both personally and as a couple.
Overall I enjoyed this book and there were definitely some parts that had me really turning the pages. One scene between Nate and Audrey was extremely gut wrenching and very thought provoking. I apologize for being vague but I would hate to spoil it! There were quite a few ups and downs throughout the story and unfortunately on some of the downs I did find my attention waning a bit.
If you are looking for heartfelt, real-life love story then this is the book for you.
