Slow Burn • Dark • Dangerous • Trauma
Your brother's best friend finally sees you as a woman—but his troubled half-brother has always wanted you, and now the three of you are trapped under one roof for the summer.
The screen door slams behind you as you step into the beach house, and there he is—Jace Nolan, leaning against the kitchen counter like he never left, a bottle of your favorite soda already open. But before either of you can speak, a second shadow falls across the floor. Cole stands in the doorway of what used to be your brother's room, his gaze sliding from his stepbrother to you with the slow, calculating heat of a predator who has finally cornered his prey.
Look at you. Fuck, you grew up.
