A charged encounter leads to a kiss that should never happen, and suddenly the roles they’ve worn for years no longer fit. As whispers spread and loyalties twist, Evie tries to hold on to her quiet life while discovering a side of Noah that disarms her. Noah battles the pressure to stay who everyone expects. Their fragile bond pushes them to face truth, shame, and the longing to finally be seen.

My Sexy Stepbrother is a Werebear

Kelly Lord

My sexy-ass stepbrother is going to be the death of me.

When my mom decided to marry his hillbilly dad, I was pissed.

I mean, their woodsy cabin doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Not kidding.

But then I actually met my new stepbrother, Sam. And fuck… He’s totally hot. And into me.

Which is totally gross. Even if his abs are to die for. And his smile is amazing. And he’s good with his hands. And who am I kidding? He’s an adonis.

It’s no surprise that, after our parents’ wedding, we slipped up and ended up making out on the living room floor. Now I’m screwed. I’m addicted to his sculpted body.

And that was before I learned his furry secret.

Who would have known the beast between his legs wasn’t the only surprise in store?
