Stepbrother, Where Art Thou‪?‬

They say love and hate are just two sides of the same coin; two poles of the exact same emotion. They say a lot of stuff – whoever they are – and it's mostly grade A bull****, but on this point they're bang on the money. The distance between cold, icy hatred and burning, head-over-heels, yell-it-from-the-rooftops love is but the thickness of a shadow, and you wouldn't believe how easy it is to switch from one to the other.

You see, Ryan has been hiding a shocking secret for two years, and Sophia is about to learn that she's much more important to him than she could ever understand...
