“Turns out love and hate are divided by a thin, very blurred line. One that I can’t see anymore. It takes just a small flip to have heads mixing with tails, right with wrong, lust with love.”
— IN STEP-IN VALENTINESTEP-IN VALENTINE
If blood is thicker than water, how much does it weigh against lust and desire?
A fortuitous encounter, roaming eyes, and naked flesh finally set fire to the latent attraction Rose Valentine and James Archer have danced around for years.
To the outside world, they are bickering siblings. Step siblings. They will correct anyone who gets that detail wrong. The byproduct of the all too common blended family.
They met as teens but now, the shy girl is a self-sufficient woman, unaware of her potential and sex appeal, and the once gangly boy, a dominant, kinky man who goes after what and who he wants.
A weekend alone offers Rose and James the perfect opportunity to rediscover who they have become and how very right wrong can feel.
Blood really is thicker than water, but lust? Lust is solid.
What People Are Saying
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“If James Archer is a pleasure curator then without doubt Stephanie and MJ have the whole gallery under lock and key. An absolute amazing read, very steamy novella that also has some plot and gives you all the feels. Rose and James fight hard and fall even harder for each other. I think this is a perfect read for Valentine’s Day but could easily become a great palace cleanser after a dark series or when you just need to scratch an itch. Especially considering the arsenal of toys James brings to the bedroom. I highly recommend this novella. You will be left wanting more.”

“I received this as an ARC book. Holy crap is all that I can say. This book was amazing. Definitely dirty and smutty, which makes it hard to put down. It's an enemies to lovers and forbidden love kind of book. James and Rose are step-sibilings who are both home for the weekend. Rose just broke up with her boyfriend, and James will do anything to take her mind off of it. Even though they aren't related by blood, Rose still feels like it's all wrong. But sometimes, so wrong can turn into something so right.”

“Very hot and steamy short read. Loved the story, the smutty scenes and even how they thought they were hiding their feelings from the world but it was only from themselves...the toys, the Disney references...just loved it all! Definitely a feel good, cold shower read. And the last page gave it the best ending possible!”
