"What's your deal?" Reid asks, his voice as rugged as he is. God, why is he so rugged? Why couldn't he be a young, measly little boy and not this absolute man sitting next to me?
"You're my deal," I snap as I fight with the bandage. I curse under my breath, and he uses one hand to grip mine, effectively stopping me from tearing the bandage from my foot. His other hand lands on my inner thigh as he turns his body toward mine. His fingers are far too close to my apex for comfort, but I don't have the will in me to push him away.
I watch him, my throat tight and stomach fluttering with something I don't want to admit. His chest is golden and I can see each water droplet, the tuft of hair between his pecs, and I swallow, my tongue suddenly feeling heavy in my mouth.
"What, can't handle your stepbrother touching you?"
---
Andie is still working through the grief over her mother when her dad announces his new marriage with a woman she's never met. Not only that, but they're all going on a family vacation in Florida at some beach house her now stepbrother owns-as if her mother's body isn't even cold yet.
Andie wants nothing to do with her new family, her new life, and feels that her father is just trying to replace her mother as if she had never even existed. Tension is high, but things take a turn for the worse when she meets her new stepbrother.
Reid Wyatt is a man much too old for Andie-and a sexy one at that-but he is completely off-limits.
Not only is he half her age, he's also her stepbrother. But despite the list of reasons why he's not to be touched, she can't help but notice that his mouth was made for sin, and his words are far dirtier. Andie struggles to resist crossing lines she's drawn in the sand, but as tension rises and sparks fly, she knows she's in trouble.
And to make matters worse, her stepbrother will stop at nothing to show her just how good being bad feels.
Evelyn already lost her mother; how could it get any worse? At least that's what she thought. She's forced to move in with her estranged father where she also meets her stepmother and stepbrother. Evelyn knew what she needed to do, and that's getting a job and returning home. When she can't find a job, her stepbrother, Dimitri, offers her one. Innocent enough, right? Little does she know; she's thrown headfirst into the mafia world. Her feelings for Dimitri grows as she's forced to live with him, but her boyfriend, Mark, is someone her mother would be proud to see her with. Will her dreams change? Will she change?
Excerpt:
"Ask me nicely." His sultry voice twists my stomach in the best of ways.
"Wha- what do you mean?" I mentally kick myself for allowing his power to rule me.
This only builds his ego.
He leans forward towards my face, his nose barely touching mine.
"What is it that you want, piccola." He whispers.
What did I want? Oh! That's right, I wanted to leave.
"I would like to leave." I take a step back from him so I can focus.
