Forbidden Love: Brother’s Cage

The house is a luxury mansion on the coast, and it runs on rules. Stella, seventeen, wild, from a small town, moves into it when her mother marries into the family that owns it. The son of the house is Vincent, twenty, and on paper he is now her step-brother. In public he is the polished heir, and away from that he is at the top of competitive surfing, sharp with his tongue, possessive, and starved for affection. They fight the first time they meet. Under one roof that wears down into curiosity and then fondness. Vincent needles her to her face and protects her in every way he can, and Stella slowly falls for being the one person he does that for. When a betrayal leaves her in pieces, he is the one who stays. At a surf championship, rivals injure him, so Stella enters in his place and wins to defend his honor. Later he puts everything he has on the line to protect her. They are step-siblings only on paper, and they start a relationship they keep hidden, distant in front of other people and close behind closed doors.
