PROLOGUE You Were Never Just a Brother They say breaking the rules makes it taste sweeter. But no one told me the rules would be written by my best friend. And the one man I wasn't supposed to want? Her older brother. Liam Carter. Cold, infuriating, devastatingly handsome-and completely off-limits. I grew up in the Carter house like it was my second home. Sleepovers, movie nights, birthday cakes. I was the "little sister" he never asked for. But now? At twenty-one, I wasn't a little girl anymore. And Liam... well, he noticed. It started with a look. Just one. That lingering glance across the hallway when I wore her borrowed crop top. Then it became words-hot, teasing words whispered too close to my ear. Then his hands. And God help me, I didn't stop him. We were a secret wrapped in heat, hidden in shadows, cloaked in guilt. Because while I was falling for him... my best friend, Harper, was in love with me. None of us said it. But we all knew. What started as innocent teasing turned into stolen kisses behind her back. Every moment with Liam was laced with danger-danger of being caught, danger of being torn apart, danger of breaking Harper's heart. But I was already breaking mine. Because Liam Carter wasn't just a boy. He was hers before he was ever mine. And loving him might be the worst mistake I'd ever make. But I'd make it again. And again. Because even if it was wrong... He was never just a brother to me
