An alternative cover edition for this ASIN can be found here. I was Kira’s from the first moment I saw her. Maybe it was love at first sight, but I was only ten. She became my best friend. My crush. The girl I can’t live without. But I have to. She was almost mine, but my father took away my chance. Now she lives across the hall from me. Instead of possessing the title of girlfriend, she’s now my stepsister. But that doesn’t stop how I feel, how I want her. Thankfully, I’m off to college two hundred miles away, but even that doesn’t help. She’s under my skin, all around me, and all I can do is watch her morph from a sexy teenager to an irresistible woman. I can’t take it anymore, I need her. Is it possible to ever be happy without the one person you need?

Love is only a battlefield when you have a fighting chance. In the aftermath of bad decisions followed by poor thinking, Brayden is still without Kira. Years of hurt have hardened Kira, and she’s not just going to roll over for Brayden on command. Strong willed and stubborn, neither of them is willing to give in without a fight. There’s a million reasons why she shouldn’t care for him anymore . . . but she does. Brayden senses this, and he’s laid siege on her life, haunting her in every possible sense—reminding her of what they once shared. But he’s still the man that wrecked her. The man she loves. The man she utterly despises. He’s still her step brother. Right and wrong have no sway with the heart. What it wants, it takes. With every day that passes, Kira is reminded of all the reasons she has to hate him . . . and all the reasons she still has to adore him. Can Kira let go and give him a chance, or is it really too little, too late? Even if she can forgive him, is it possible for them to have a future together while still being step-siblings? #SayHisName

Kira’s finally mine. Mine. And nobody and nothing is going to take her from me. I’ll fight for her, to the death. Do anything for her. There’s no more living without her. No more holding back my feelings. If only it was enough. We’re surrounded every day. Watched. Stalked. Judged. Everyone knows us. Now, they suspect. The odds are stacked against us more than before. We live in the shadows, hiding our love from the entire world. But not for long. I refuse to live like this anymore. I’ll do whatever it takes to own her. I’m waging a dark war against those that stand against us. And I will win. That girl is going to be mine forever, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
