Perfect for you if...

You enjoy second-chance romance where characters have genuine history and unresolved tension from their past.
You like the forbidden attraction trope but want it grounded in real emotional stakes rather than pure fantasy.
You're after a standalone that doesn't require a series commitment but still delivers depth and complexity.

Maybe not for you if...

You need slow-burn romance. This escalates quickly once they reconnect, which some readers find rushed.
You prefer romance without family complications or uncomfortable power dynamics in the setup.
You're looking for a light, fluffy read. This explores darker emotional territory and family trauma.

About this book

A complete standalone novel. When Elec becomes the narrator's stepbrother during her senior year, she finds him difficult and resents his behavior. She is bothered by his attitude toward being there, his involvement with girls from their high school, and her own unexpected physical attraction to him. Over time their dynamic shifts, culminating in a significant moment between them. He then leaves to return to California. Years later, when family tragedy occurs, the narrator must confront Elec again. The teenager who once frustrated her has become a man who affects her deeply, and she fears her heart will be broken once more.
