Stepbrother Dearest

Penelope Ward

A forbidden romance about Greta and her new stepbrother Elec, who moves in during their senior year of high school and torments her even as an undeniable attraction grows between them. The story splits between their turbulent teenage years together and a second-chance reunion seven years later after tragedy brings them back into each other's orbit. Told largely from Greta's perspective with a late pivot into Elec's point of view, it's an angsty, emotionally charged tale about wanting the one person you're not supposed to want.
