The Fake Stepsister

Being the "good daughter" was exhausting. Pretending to date my future stepsister? That might just ruin me.

Chloe has spent her entire life being the responsible one, smoothing over every crack in her mother's fragile world. So when she arrives at a sweltering family cabin for a bonding weekend before her mother's wedding, she's prepared to grit her teeth and play the perfect daughter.

She wasn't prepared for Roxy.

Roxy is her future stepfather's daughter—tattooed, sharp-tongued, and radiating the kind of "bad news" energy Chloe usually avoids like the plague. But when Chloe's mother tries to set her up with yet another eligible bachelor, Roxy drops a bomb that shatters the tension: she tells everyone they're dating.

Now, they have three days to fake a relationship in front of their parents. The rules are simple: hold hands, play the part, and don't get caught. But in the stifling heat of the cabin, the line between performance and reality begins to blur.

A touch under the dinner table becomes a caress. A staged kiss in the kitchen becomes desperate. And soon, Chloe isn't sure if she's pretending anymore.

Falling for her stepsister is the worst possible idea. So why does it feel like the first honest thing she's ever done?
