Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.\n\nJust as quickly as he\u2019d come into my life, he was gone back to California.\n\nIt had been years since I\u2019d seen Elec.\n\nWhen tragedy struck our family, I\u2019d have to face him again.\n\nAnd holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.\n\nI had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.\n\nStepbrother Dearest is a standalone novel.\n\n**Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+ ",
