My Stepbrother Wants Me

He’s her stepbrother, her sin and her biggest mistake waiting to happen. Catherine Brown thought moving in with her mother’s new husband couldn’t be harder until she met the cold, arrogant and sinfully attractive Julian Vaughn, her stepbrother. He hates her, teases her and gets under her skin everyday. He’s everything she should stay away from, off-limits and untouchable. But when his anger turns into something darker and hungrier, when he looks at her like he wants to ruin her innocence, Catherine realizes danger has a new name. And no matter how hard she tries, she can’t stop wanting the one man she’s not supposed to have. When hate turns to desire, who’s really in control? EXCERPT✨ “You’ve never had sex before?” Julian asked, disbelief flickering in his eyes. Catherine hesitated, then nodded, staring at the floor instead of him. He bit his lower lip, trying to rein in the thoughts crowding his mind. Goodness, she was too innocent for her own good. “So all you did with your previous boyfriends were just kisses and smooches?” She immediately stood, her cheeks flushed. “There are no boyfriends,” she blurted. “I’ve never even been kissed. Please don’t laugh at me.” Laugh? Hell no. Julian wasn’t laughing. He was fighting the urge to pull her close. Knowing she’d never been touched only made his hunger worse. She didn’t realize he’d moved until his breath brushed her ear, his voice dropping low and dangerous. “Catherine, just say the word and I’ll show you what it means to be touched by a man.” Her heart stuttered in her chest and he could hear every beat.

Rewritten in Ice and Blood

Ten years before the world of Eternal Dominion is meant to begin, a man from the modern world awakens in a body already doomed. Valen Arkwright, eldest son of the northernmost county, heir to a frozen land of wolves, war, and betrayal has been stabbed in his own bed and left for dead. In the original timeline, his death is nothing more than a footnote, a convenient tragedy that allows his younger stepbrother to claim the title of Count under the guidance of a ruthless stepmother. But this time, Valen survives. Armed with memories of a game he once mastered and knowledge of a future soaked in blood, the man reborn as Valen refuses to accept a scripted death. As civil war erupts across the snowbound north, he must rise from betrayal and weakness to reclaim his throne—by steel, strategy, and unforgiving resolve. Surrounded by enemies wearing the faces of family, Valen navigates a court where every smile hides a blade and loyalty is bought with blood. Ancient powers stir beneath the ice, long-forgotten bloodlines awaken, and the northern land itself seems to respond to his defiance. Between brutal battles and political intrigue, dangerous women enter his path each carrying desire, ambition, and secrets capable of reshaping his fate. In a world where power is seductive and survival demands dominance, passion becomes both a weapon and a weakness. To rewrite the future, Valen must embrace the cruelty of the north, claim the strength buried in his blood, and shatter the destiny written for him. Because this time, the noble meant to die will take the throne. And the world will remember his name.
