My Step Brother's Dirty Secret

By Summer Drama

When Alice Bell loses everything-her father, her home, her sense of belonging-she's thrust into a world of wealth, power, and rules she never agreed to follow. Moving into the Hawthorne estate should have been a fresh start.

Instead, it becomes a battlefield.

James Hawthorne is dangerous in the way only untouchable men are-cold, arrogant, and in control. He's her new stepbrother, the heir to a legacy built on silence and reputation. He sees through people. He keeps his distance.

Until he doesn't.

What begins as tension turns into protection. What feels like safety turns into desire. And what should have been impossible becomes unavoidable.

But secrets don't stay buried forever.

As rumors ignite, enemies strike, and lines are drawn, Alice and James are forced to choose between doing what's expected-and choosing each other. The cost of love is steep when power, family, and scandal are involved... and not everyone survives unscathed.

My Step Brother's Dirty Secret is a forbidden romance filled with emotional intensity, slow-burn tension, high-stakes drama, and a strong heroine who refuses to disappear to make others comfortable.

Forbidden and taboo romance

Strong female leads
