I was so lucky to get adopted. My birth family was terrible to me, and my new family plucked me off the streets just in the nick of time. I was even luckier to end up with twin stepbrothers, two gorgeous hunks who I managed to annoy every summer at our family’s cabin by the lake. But now that we’re all adults, I’m not interested in playing pranks. I’m interested in playing an entirely different game… one with ropes and chains. This summer, fun in the sun with my stepbrothers can only mean one thing: a taboo tryst that none of us will soon forget.
I met him before I knew. I loved him before I knew. I didn't know he was my stepbrother when I fell for Bladen. I fell for a mystery guy who I spent a long, amazing weekend with. Then he got up and left me, without even a goodbye. I was nothing more than a bit of fun. He broke my heart. I didn't see him again. Until my mom and her new husband, Jack, decide to take us all on a family vacation to the lake so I can meet my new stepbrothers for the first time. I don't see it coming. When he gets out of that car, my world stops. My passionate lover is...my stepbrother. He isn't the same man. He's a prick and he makes sure I know it. I'm not the same woman. I'm in love with him and I very much plan to make sure he knows it. He won't make my life easy. I won't give up.
