Sinful Stepbrother by Delilah Drew (Paperback)

Secret. Stepbrother. Straight. Sinful Stepbrother is the second book in Delilah Drew’s Stepbrother Obsession series, a forbidden MM romance.

Alex was always the golden boy. Straight, successful, married, and utterly off-limits. Then came the divorce, and suddenly he was shattered, drowning in his own misery. Dragging him off to a run-down villa beneath the Tuscan sun was meant to fix all that: a quiet retreat in Italy to eat good food, drink too much wine and finally clear his head. It turns out to be a very big mistake.

Because when a brutal thunderstorm sweeps in over the hills, the roof begins to leak, and there’s only one dry bed left in the whole ancient house. All at once, the close quarters become suffocating. Alex watches our narrator with eyes far too hungry for a stepbrother’s. He tracks his every move. He tenses when the local Italian men so much as glance his way. He invades his space, insisting all the while that he’s only “trying to protect him.”

Alex says he’s broken. He says he’s straight. But trapped together in the dark, with the rain lashing against the stone walls, it becomes clear that Alex doesn’t just want comfort. He wants him.

Please note this is a high-angst read with a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Perfect for readers who love a forbidden MM romance, a possessive straight-to-gay awakening and a one-bed forced-proximity slow burn.
