I’ve always been more comfortable observing than being seen.
As one of the four owners of the Salacious Players’ Club, I prefer staying in the background. Watching. Listening. Keeping my distance. It’s easier that way.
Then one late-night discovery changes everything.
I find myself drawn to an online creator whose confidence, wit, and vulnerability I can’t stop thinking about.
There’s just one problem.
She’s Mia.
My step-sister.
And she has absolutely no idea who I am.
Mia and I have spent years getting under each other’s skin. We clash over everything, and if you asked either of us, we’d tell you we can’t stand each other.
But behind the screen, things are different.
The more I learn about her, the more the walls I’ve built around myself begin to crack. Suddenly, I’m doing things I swore I’d never do—opening up, taking risks, and letting someone matter.
The problem is that Mia is falling for the person she thinks I am, not the man I really am.
Now I’m faced with an impossible choice: keep hiding behind the safety of anonymity or risk everything for a chance at something real.
Because this time, standing on the sidelines may cost me the one person I can’t seem to let go.
