How could I not fall for him- Lowell Knight, my dangerously irresistible adopted brother? At 18, I was tossed into living with the most seductive man I'd ever laid eyes on. It's forbidden, sinful- but I couldn't stop the heat building between us. I hid my desire- kept it from our parents, from him, and especially from his girlfriend. But for how long? -------------------------PREVIEW------------------------- 𝐇𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬.

BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. "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.

Harper Andaya-Worst nightmare ko ang mag-perform onstage. Kaya tinanggihan ko ang pangungulit ni Sef-marketing executive ng TMG kung saan songwriter ako-na kumanta sa isang tribute concert. But after he presented me some really agreeable terms, I said yes eventually. Then I realized that I actually liked him when he's not acting stern and all businesslike. And when he smiled that simple smile-iyong ngiti na parang ayaw niyang ipakita sa iba dahil exclusive lang para sa akin-natutuwa ako. Why I feel that way about him, I really have no idea. Josefino "Sef" Macaranding-My task is to convince Harper, one of our songwriters, to participate in TMG's tribute concert. Dapat tapos na ang ugnayan namin nang pumayag siya. But for some reason, I keep finding myself minding her business. Bigla akong naging protective sa kanya at mananagot talaga sa akin if anyone messes with her. And why I was overwhelmed with a sudden feeling of possessiveness when some guy smiled at Harper, I really do not understand. ❤️❤️❤️ Follow Harper on Twitter @WriteMeASadSong and Sef @TheSefMac Visit and like the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheBreakupAnthem/

Lacey was running out of options. Walang kinalabasang mabuti ang kahit na isa man lang sa lahat ng plano niya para makawala sa pamba-blackmail ni Nik na magpakasal dito. Pati ang last-minute escape plan niya ay muntik pang mabulilyaso. Mabuti na lang at biglang sumulpot sa eksena ang kanyang kinakapatid na si Justin. As for Justin, he wasn't exactly excited at the prospect of being a major sponsor at Lacey's wedding. Isiningit nga lang niya sa kanyang mahigpit na schedule ang pagdalo doon. Pero sa halip na isang simpleng kasal ang abutan sa venue ay isang tumatakas na bride ang sumalubong sa kanya. And he had the biggest shock of his life when he recognized the bride as Lacey. Hindi lang 'yun. Naging instant accomplice pa siya nang bigla na lang itong sumakay sa kotse niya. Now letting her escape was one thing. But escaping with her? That's an entirely different matter!

I need you to do this for me, Justin. Please?" complete with pleading and teary eyes. --- Justin is the older brother of Chase (from When First Impressions Don't Last) and Lucille (from Texting under the Influence).
