Almost Family

He was supposed to be almost family.
Not the man I couldn't live without.

I tried to be the good son.
I tried to choose stability.
I tried to want the woman everyone expected.

But the night Cody knocked on my door and kissed me like he was done pretending, everything changed.

He's my stepbrother in waiting.
My father's fiancée's son.
The one line neither of us were supposed to cross.

We told ourselves it was a mistake.
We told ourselves it couldn't happen again.
We lied.

Because loving him isn't a phase.
It isn't rebellion.
It isn't something I can bury to keep the peace.

As wedding plans tighten around us and suspicion grows in my mother's eyes, we're running out of time to decide what matters more—family loyalty or the kind of love that refuses to stay hidden.

If we tell the truth, we risk destroying everything.

If we don't, we lose each other.

And this time… neither of us is willing to walk away.

Almost Family is a high-angst, forbidden MM romance filled with scorching chemistry, emotional tension, and a cliffhanger that will leave you breathless.
