Step Rivalry

When Antonia's mother remarries, twelve-year-old Antonia is thrust into a new family dynamic with Elena Hayes, her beautiful but cruel older step-sister. But everything changes when Elena brings home her boyfriend, Logan Cruz-a man whose warmth and charm awaken something profound in Antonia. For her, it's not a childish crush-it's love, raw and undeniable. To Logan, however, she's just a little girl, and their innocent connection means nothing more than kindness on his part.

But a year later, a single act shatters the fragile peace in their family, driving them apart. Antonia's love for Logan becomes a secret she carries as the years pass.

When Antonia and Logan cross paths again, she's no longer the naïve girl he once knew. She's grown into a woman he can no longer ignore. As their connection rekindles, old wounds reopen, and the rivalry between Antonia and Elena threatens to destroy everything once again.

Two sisters. One man. A rivalry that began long before they knew the stakes.
