Love is complicated. Why not make it worse by falling in love with an older man who happens to be your new stepbrother?

When my mother took me from sunny Miami and moved us to freezing Vancouver, Canada so she can be with her older boyfriend, the last thing I imagined was that I was going to fall for her boyfriend's son.

The age difference between my mother and her boyfriend is a constant source of cringe and embarrassment, but life in Canada turns out to be more than bearable. Especially since Gabriel, the billionaire son of Mom's billionaire boyfriend, is also annoyed about the current situation. We bond over our dislike for our parents' relationship, and, for a while, I manage to ignore that I'm crushing on a man whom fate made my stepbrother. But our harmless friendship evolves, and soon my innocent crush into a passionate, and apparently unrequited longing.

How could I resist?! He's gorgeous, has great taste in cars, clothes and watches, and, under the cool façade, he's immensely kind. I wish I could make my heart understand I can't have him. I shouldn't even dream about him.

But I should have known that a man like Gabriel doesn't pay attention to a girl like me without an ulterior motive. And, as if unrequited love for my stepbrother wasn't bad enough, I find out what he really cares about. Which is not me. Not by a long shot.

Even when I hate his stupid nasal voice and his chiseled cheekbones, even when I want to slap that perfect pale skin that never blushes, what truly hurts is that I can't get over him. Everything about Gabriel is insufferable but hating him... is impossible.

He's arrogant, infuriating, and entirely off-limits. No matter how many flaws I find in him, I can't stop the fire he ignited in my heart.

Keeping my distance from the gorgeous billionaire hurts, but after I find his secret, staying away is impossible.

When the desire burning between us clashes with reality, we have to make a choice. Do we follow a passion that could tear our family apart or walk away from the one person that makes our souls complete?

This emotionally charged, slow-burn romance will keep you entranced from the very first page to the last.

Prepare to hate Gabriel before you find out his secret. Emotions run deep and wild before a hard-earned HEA.

The full story of Melody and Gabriel is told entirely from Melody's perspective.
