I came to college with
daydreams about being with my stepbrother, but what would happen if I fell in
love with the anti-stepbrother instead?
Anti-Stepbrother is
releasing August 22, 2016!
He told me
to 'settle, girl.'
He asked if 'something was wrong with me?'
He said I was an ‘easy target.’
That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks.
I labeled him an *sshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha.
He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother’s fraternity brother.
Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.

Excerpt
The sun shone into the room, and it took me a few moments to realize
where I was. I didn’t recognize the king-size bed, or the black sheets, but
then Caden walked past the open door and all the memories flooded into place.
I slept at his place.
I glanced around the bed… I slept in his bed!
“Your alarm’s about to go off in ten minutes,” Caden called from the
doorway. He had a cup of coffee in hand and wore only jeans.
I tried to keep my eyes front and center, but I lost. The tattoos were a
nice little zig-zag pattern, pulling my gaze down, all the way down. Caden’s
slow, smooth chuckle told me he knew what I’d just done. My cheeks only warmed
a little.
I shot him a look, falling back to the pillow. “I feel like this should
be the first skip day of my school career.”
“You’ve never skipped before?”
I shook my head, rolling it side to side on the pillow. “Am I missing
out? Should I embrace my inner deviant?”
He smirked. “You can skip a class for any reason in the world. It’s your
life.”
I sat up, eyeing that coffee. “You were supposed to be the bad
influence.”
His eyebrow lifted. “I’m not selling it enough?” He lifted his cup. “You
want some coffee?”
“I’m wondering if today is the day I try coffee too.”
“You’ve never had coffee?”
“I’m beginning to think I’m lame.” I thought about it. “Really lame.”
“You slept at some guy’s house last night. Think of it that way.” His
smirk was back. “Not so lame now.”
I could do one better. “I slept at a fraternity
house.”
“And you drank beer.”
“It was the second night in a row that I drank beer.”
“See? Not so lame after all.”
“You’re right.” I sat up. “I’m halfway to total badass.”
He grinned. “We cuddled last night, and you could think of it as dry
humping. You almost got some last night.”
Except I hadn’t, and we were in the friend zone. Why were my hands
curling around the covers into tight balls? I glanced down and forced them to
loosen, then shrugged, trying to be the nonchalant badass I was.
“You carried me to bed. Almost the same thing.”
Suddenly, the joking was gone, and his eyes burned. I could feel his
heat from across the room, and my body reacted, instantly warming even before
he said a word.
“Nothing’s the same as sliding inside,” he murmured after a moment. “The
feel of being in there, feeling that clench around you, knowing you can push as
deep as you want, as hard or gently as you want. Nope. I’ve gotta step off the
joke train for a moment here. Nothing is remotely the same as that feeling.”
Fuck. My pulse spiked.
He tossed me a look. “Maybe I’ll cop a feel the next time.”
I pretended to groan. “One more notch on my badass peg. You better cop a
feel next time.”
“Is that all I am to you? A notch on the bedpost? I feel so used,
Stoltz.”
Okay. My last name. We were back on familiar ground here. But my grin
was still a little shaky.
“Get used to it, Banks. I’m only disguised as this plain Jane. Inside
there’s a wild woman just waiting to be let loose.”
He didn’t reply.
He stared at me for a few more seconds, then straightened from the
doorway. “There’s nothing plain about you, Summer.”
