BASTARD: A Stepbrother Romance (These Wicked Games Book 1)

It begins unexpectedly…

Maggie Saint Claire's past comes storming into her shitty little life, threatening to change everything.

A family with dark secrets and forbidden love…

Cade Dorn gets what he wants. Businesses, women—anything. Always. But when he sees his younger stepsister for the first time in years, it ignites something in him that just won't stop burning. It's wrong, and he knows it. And he doesn't care: he must have her. As kids, he'd always protected her. But now, can he protect her from himself?

An adversary who will never quit…

A twisted stepmother who will do anything she can to come between them. A corrupt sheriff who treats the law as recommendation. A former ally who's trying to crush Cade's company, and anyone who gets in his way.

Now, with Cade the only one left she can trust, Maggie must navigate through corruption and deceit, and simple jealousy, while trying not to fall in love with her stepbrother.

But if she wants even the slightest hope of a happy ending, there's no running fast enough, no hideout remote enough. No way to win, except to play, in these wicked games.
