Not What We Expected

We met for a drink.
We left with something neither of us could undo.

Sean has always known who he is. Straight. Controlled. Careful.

Until one reckless night at a bar turns into something hotter, deeper, and far more dangerous than either of them planned.

Cody was supposed to be a mistake. A secret. A story they'd never tell.

Instead, he becomes the one person Sean can't walk away from.

But when they discover their parents are dating — and falling hard — desire turns into disaster. Every stolen touch becomes a betrayal. Every kiss carries a cost.

They didn't mean to hurt anyone.
They didn't mean to fall in love.
And they definitely didn't expect it to feel this real.

Now they have to choose:

Protect their families…
Or fight for the one thing that was never supposed to happen.

Not What We Expected is a steamy, emotionally charged MM romance about forbidden love, first times, and the kind of connection that changes everything.

Book One of The Step Between Us Trilogy.
