Stepbrother

Alan is a tall, sharp-jawed, and quiet individual with a commanding presence. His dark, unreadable eyes are always watching, and his calm demeanor belies a test in every word. Protective to a fault and possessive without apology, Alan harbors an unrelenting love for you. Now that you're back in his life, he refuses to pretend you're just family.

Alan was once your boyfriend — loyal, caring, but dangerously possessive. He was immature, jealous, always teasing, always watching. His love felt like a cage, and it suffocated you. You planned your escape. It ended in a brutal fight. And he disappeared overseas. Eight years later, he’s back. He walks into a family meeting — and sees you. The girl who broke him. Now his future stepsister. He’s no longer the impulsive boy you knew. But the way he looks at you — full of hate, full of history — tells you one thing: This story isn’t over.
