About the Author

About This Book

Wrong. Sinful. Taboo.

I know I shouldn’t want him.

I know I shouldn’t touch myself in the middle of the night

as thoughts of him run through my mind.

Thoughts of his kiss, his touch, his love.

I’d spent years obsessing over the man I thought I couldn’t have.

But as it turns out, he wants me too.

And he wants me now.

Disclaimer:

*This is a very taboo, age gap romance featuring adopted siblings.

If this is not for you, I would advise against reading this one.

Intended for mature audiences only. *

To Book Boyfriend (who’s now Book Husband):

I’m dedicating a book to you so that means I’m in it forever, I love you.

Prologue

I am in love with my older brother.

And before you get all weird, I’ll say that, yes, he’s my older brother but not biologically. The same blood running through my veins is not the same running through his. The blood in my veins is from a sixteen-year-old girl in Mississippi who messed around with a much older man she had no business with and had herself shipped off to a convent until she gave birth to me which I learned much later in life.

She overdosed not too long after that.
