Prologue

Rock-hard abs. Cocky smile. Sculpted hipbones that scream filthy sex.

Liam Cage is walking torture for any girl in New York, but especially me.

My mother is married to his father and, on top of that, I’m living under his roof. I follow his rules. I’m nothing but his perfect angel, so I can’t want him. I can’t tempt him. I can’t bait him into touching my half-naked body while I lie "asleep" on his couch.

… About that.

It was every kind of wrong, but I couldn’t help myself. I stripped down for my stepbrother. Tortured him. Forced him to take out years of pent-up lust on my body in one sticky, sweaty shot. Long story short, I made the hottest mistake of my life, and I know there will be consequences, especially with a past like mine. But now that I’ve opened Pandora’s box, there’s no going back. Basically, I’m screwed.

But when it’s with a man as painfully sexy as Liam, being screwed has kind of never felt so good.
