Six years of secret love with my brother Lorian Lancelot.

The day before Valentine’s, I snuck to his office hoping to surprise him.

Instead, I got the shock of my life overhearing a conversation through his half–open door.

colder with each word.

“As for Sylvia Lancelot… I have plenty of ways to make her

“Imagine it–falling in love with your stepbrother, sneaking into his bed night after night, then having that shameful affair exposed at my wedding ceremony. Can she still have to live in the Lancelot family

after that?”

“I can hardly wait.”
