MARRYING MY STEP BROTHER

ImePromise Romance

“Helen Blackwood's perfect wedding day shattered in an instant when she discovered the man waiting at the altar wasn't just her fiance. He was her stepbrother. "You want to marry your brother?" the pastor's voice echoed through the chapel as Helen's tears fell like rain. For five years, Helen loved Kelvin with everything she had. Five years of stolen kisses at the office, whispered promises under starlight, and dreams of forever. But forever came crashing down when her mother, Elizabeth, screamed in horror at the wedding,recognizing the groom's father as James Blackwood, the husband she'd divorced twenty-five years ago. The truth was a devastating puzzle: James had adopted baby Kelvin, planning to surprise Elizabeth with the twins she'd always wanted. But when Elizabeth found mysterious photos of James with another woman and child, she assumed betrayal, took baby Helen, and disappeared, spending twenty-five years raising her daughter alone while feeding her lies about a dead father. Neither Helen nor Kelvin knew they were family. They'd fallen in love as strangers, coworkers who found their soulmates in each other's eyes. Now, standing at the altar with the truth exposed, they faced an impossible question: Can you marry someone whose father married your mother?.”
