The Brother Who Wasn't Mine To Love
The Brother Who Wasn't Mine To Love
“When April Caddel was just a child, her world changed with the arrival of Orion Sharpe, a troubled teenager taken in by her loving parents. For eleven years, Orion was her protector, her strict older "brother," and a secret rock she leaned on. That was until he left and their contact dimmed. Now, six years later, Orion King returns as a powerful businessman with a colder gaze, a new surname and a past he's no longer running from. But to April, he's still the man who made her feel seen and caged. April's unresolved emotions surges back to the surface. Orion is determined to help April rebuild her life, all while clinging to the one rule he's never dared to break; he is her brother in every way that counts. But love doesn't always listen to labels, she's falling for the one man she was never supposed to want. As April's forbidden feelings rise and Orion's boundaries blur, April starts pushing limits. Orion, the man who once walked away to do the right thing, realizes that walking away might not be enough to save both of them this time. They share no blood. But will that ever be enough? Throw in the arrival of Orion's spoilt half-siblings, who looked down on the Caddels, and Orion's father who felt like he had lost his son to them, April and Orion has a lot of obstacles. When love dares to grow on a forbidden soil, will it survive the storm? Or would it become another secret they can never afford to expose?”
