Lauren Abbott has spent years being the good daughter, following the plan her powerful father chose for her. Then a flat tire puts Sean Huntington back in her path: the tattooed motorcycle-riding artist who has always represented everything forbidden. Sean is older, technically her stepbrother, and determined not to become another man who decides what Lauren needs. But the attraction between them is no longer a secret they can ignore. Choosing Sean means risking her father's money, approval, and carefully controlled future. Choosing herself means building a life on her own terms, even if the man she wants must learn to stand beside her instead of rescuing her. A high-heat forbidden stepbrother romance with an age gap, a protective tattooed hero, family pressure, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
