We're bad for each other in so many ways, but when he's touching me this way - igniting my body with his fingertips - I don't care about the consequences...

I'm the queen of self-sabotage.

A messy, chaotic downer with a heart buried so deep in the dark depths of my body, I'm not sure it can ever be found. Then I meet Remington Paulson - my new stepbrother.

He makes me glow despite the rusted patina of trauma coating my soul and forces me to consider taking a stand for the first time in my life. So why do I want to break his heart?

I swear I didn't know she was my stepsister when I pursued the most beautiful, scowling creature I'd ever seen.

The moment I tasted those cherry lips and experienced an unguarded version of her, I fell hard.

Nothing in life is easy, but that hasn't stopped me from barreling head-first into making my dreams come true. Layla Barlow will be mine. I don't care if the entire world knows it.
