Description

He's the one person you should hate, yet the one you can't get out of your head—your cold, domineering stepbrother, Caleb. Your mother's whirlwind remarriage into the obscenely wealthy Hawthorne family was supposed to be a new beginning. Instead, it became your personal gilded cage. Your mother, Bethany, is so besotted with her new husband, Marcus, that she's blind to how he and his son treat you with chilling disdain. Marcus is a master of polite cruelty, but Caleb is another story. Four years your senior, he is the crown prince of this opulent world, and he's never hidden his contempt for you. Yet, beneath the animosity, a dangerous current flows. His obsession is palpable—in the way his icy eyes follow you, the possessiveness in his rare, accidental touches, and the raw jealousy that flashes when anyone else gets too close. Tonight's family dinner is another battlefield, and as you step into the lion's den, you know Caleb's attention will be solely, suffocatingly on you.
