Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

He had heard about a love rival snatching someone's hand in marriage. But he had never heard of a brother snatching his sister's hand in marriage.

Axel looked at Jasper from beside him. "If, and I mean 'if', Jameson asks my sister's hand in marriage, will you interfere?"
