Dereck: “I crave her. Every time she walks past, it’s like her name carves itself into my skin. Her lips, God, they drive me insane. Her body keeps me up at night, torturing me in the dark. She looks at me like I’m just her stepbrother… like she doesn’t see the hunger in my eyes. But I do see her. I want her. And I know I shouldn’t, not when she’s my father’s girlfriend’s daughter. Not when she’s practically family. But forbidden has never tasted so tempting…” Wyatt: “She ruins me. That mouth, those curves, every inch of her makes me ache. I want her gasping my name, nails in my back, begging for more. She’s a wildfire I can’t put out, and I’m already burning. Just one touch and I’d lose it. I dream about her, wake up drenched in need. Every time she looks away, I want to grab her, pull her close, and make her feel how much I want her. She’s off-limits. But I don’t care. I want her to break the rules with me.” ************************** After my dad died, my mum went from man to man, searching for something stable. Now she says she’s found it, with a wealthy fiancé and his two sons. We’re moving in with them. One house. Two stepbrothers. And a new life I never asked for. The mansion is cold and unfamiliar. Dereck, the older son, looks at me like I don’t belong, like he’s hiding something dangerous behind his ice-blue stare. Wyatt, the younger one, makes me laugh, makes me feel safe… until his gaze lingers too long, until his touch feels like more. I didn’t expect to feel anything. But what I feel is wrong. Worse still… I think they feel it too. I’m not supposed to want either of them. But the heart doesn’t follow rules. And mine? It’s about to ruin everything.
