Publisher's Synopsis
Two stepbros: A bad-boy rockstar with a sunshine smile, a grumpy gym rat with eyes like a storm. Five years since they've seen each other-only one spicy weekend before they say goodbye forever.When I, Logan Wilder, was eighteen, I stupidly fell in love with my best friend/stepbrother, Lachlan Mackenzie (Lock, for short).
We punched each other's v-cards just weeks before our parents' wedding, and part of me hoped our forbidden relationship would survive, especially after my sister, Piper, gave her support. But then Lock left... I didn't see or hear from him for five years. So imagine my panic when Lock shows up at Piper's wedding, now a famous singer-songwriter calling in a favor. He screams bohemian sex with his shoulder-length curls and cheap guitar. I'm angry, flustered, horny-and that combination lands me where I shouldn't be: Pounding Lock into the bridal suite mattress. Unfortunately, forbidden sex isn't the only wedding disaster. And Piper is fed-up with my self-pity. So at the end of her botched wedding, she gives me an ultimatum. Either I join the family, plus Lock, on a weekend trip to figure out my unresolved issues with him... or Mom and Dad find out about us Monday morning. I tell myself that maybe this is the opportunity I've been waiting for. One last weekend where I can indulge my shameful lust and lock away any memories before I finally say goodbye for good. But if there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that Lachlan Mackenzie can't be trusted. I know. I trusted him, once. And it left me irreparably broken. I swear to God I won't let him do that to me again. All I Ask, Stepbro is a contemporary, M/M standalone romance that proves you can't forget true love, no matter how hard you try.
