My Online Boyfriend Is My Stepbrother IRL

Synopsis

It's been five years since my mother married into the Sterling crime family, and my relationship with my stepbrother, Louis, is still ice-cold. He's arrogant, aloof, and wouldn't give me the time of day. I know better than to even try. Until I saw it: a birthmark on Louis's body, identical to the one on my online boyfriend, Rowan. I thought about the messages Rowan had sent me every night for the past two years, the ones that made my face flush and my heart race: Baby, I can only fall asleep thinking of you. I need to see you. I'll show you how much I want you. I'm going crazy thinking about you... I just couldn't square the man in those messages with the cold-as-ice Louis. To make matters worse, I had just lied to Rowan, telling him I'd failed to get into Harvard and wasn't good enough for him, before breaking up with him. If he finds out it was me who dumped him, I'm pretty sure he'll tear me to pieces. I was already packing my bags, ready to bolt. But then Louis appeared, blocking my path. He leaned in, his low laugh a menacing rumble in my ear. "Think you can play me and just walk away? Who gave you the balls?"
