For years, I chased Adrian Marlowe's attention like a lovesick fool—my stepbrother, my tormentor, the one person who could unravel me with a single glance. So I stopped. I walked away, built my own life, and pretended he didn't exist. But when my father's will leaves everything to Adrian and nothing to me, he makes me an offer I can't refuse: play his dutiful stepsister for one year, and I'll get what's rightfully mine. The problem is, the boy who once pushed me away now watches my every move with dark, possessive eyes—and this time, he's not letting me go.
