"You need to call off this party," I boldly told my stepbrother in the kitchen. He cocked his head attractively, his thin eyes scrutinizing me. His upper lip curled up in that seductive habit that I had become familiar with. "And why should I do that?" he murmured. His eyes were come-to-bed-with-me stunning, inviting with me with that inescapable pull, and damn if I didn't wet my panties. Get it together, Madison, said my insidious voice. I almost complied with that command until Caden went on and said something that left me breathless before his egotistical smirk. "Will you be my snack tonight?" He hates you. Don't forget that. I was reminded by my subconscious. *** Caden always goes extreme to make my life a living hell since after our parents got married four years ago. Although I'm similar to my stepbrother-the only difference between us is: I am a surreptitious bully, and Caden's a blatant bully. I wonder how sharing the same apartment for our first year at Stanford University will turn out. Honestly? I'm not eager to find out. Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances in this compelling two-part saga. This is Caden and Madison's story.
