Chapter One
Brooke has only loved one man. Cody’s smart, gorgeous, perfect.
Except he’s older. Taken.
Oh, and her step-brother.
If only she could prove to him they are meant to be.
Cody has the perfect life.
A sophisticated, supportive girlfriend, a career on the rise.
And an amazing best friend and stepsister. If only he could stop noticing just how beautiful Brooke is. How she gets him. How he hates any other guy near her.
When one night of passion turns into a morning-after disaster, Brooke is left to face the future alone. And pregnant.
But little does Brooke know, she’s not alone. Someone else has been watching. Waiting. Stalking her every move. And they only want one thing.
Her.
Chapter One
4th of July – Another event his parents dragged him to…
Wow! He hadn’t seen her in two years.
She’d changed. Filled out in all the right places.
His gaze traced her curves. Those legs. That ass. Damn.
He wished he could go up to her and say hi.
Lame.
She’d never talk to him. What would he even say to her? No one ever really talked to him. Not unless they wanted something. Usually from his father.
He hated being used. He hated that he couldn’t just go up to her, strike up a conversation, and have her begging him to take her out, take her to bed. He wasn’t that guy. He didn’t know how to be that guy, even though right now he’d do anything to be that man for her.
She made him hard. She made him want.
Then he got lucky and spotted some friends from school, who were friends with Brooke’s best friend. He could use them to get close to Brooke. Then maybe he’d have a chance.
Yeah right!
It could happen, he argued with himself.
Maybe it was meant to be.
