What do you do when the man from a one night stand turns out to be your stepbrother? 
Do you forget that incredible night or…do you commit the same sin again and again?
For Jade Evans, caught amidst her mother's new marriage and the turmoil it brings, an alcohol-fueled encounter on the hills leads to a shocking revelation- the stranger she shared an unforgettable night with is none other than her soon-to-be stepbrother.
But that's not it- the man she encounters on the wedding day isn't the one she spent that passionate night with. Instead, he's someone closely associated with him. Now that all three of them have to stay under the same roof, surely, nothing can go wrong...right?

"Remember when you said you'd drink me all up?" I projected my thoughts into his mind, interrupting his stream of thoughts.
His body seemed to freeze, his eyes snapping in my direction.
"What? Surprised?" I casually brought a piece of toast to my mouth, taking a bite. 
His jaw clenched visibly, clearly rattled as he lowered the glass without taking a sip, unfastening the first few buttons of his black shirt.
Fuck! I wanted to see him just as exposed as that night.
As for Chase, he didn't spare me a word. 
"I've got to admit, Stepbrother," I chuckled inwardly, confident he could hear my thoughts, "You're quite skilled at playing the 'clueless' act. If I hadn't seen your face so clearly, I might've believed that you're not Chase-"
"Devon, where's Chase, by the way?" Frank's voice abruptly interrupted, causing me to freeze in place, my eyes shooting towards him.
Did he just say... Chase?
No way. I must've misheard.

Chasing Our Stepsister

　　"You wouldn't understand. The only thing you understand well is how to use others- Manipulating people is your forte," I retorted, wrenching my hand free from his grasp. "But sorry to disappoint you- I'm fucking done falling for your mind games. You both pretend to care, but we all know the truth. Whether I'm in your life or not, it doesn't mean a damn thing to you. So stop with the act that you give a shit, stop trying to persuade me, because let's be real here- we all know you don't actually want me back. You're having far too much fun without me, aren't you?"


　　"Listen, Jade," Devon interjected, his infuriatingly calm voice grating on my last nerve. "I don't know who's been feeding you lies, but we need you to calm down. Let's talk this out and clear the air. And let me assure you, none of what you're saying is true. We want you back, okay? You're our mate, you're important to us, you matter."
