Twenty-on year old Blythe is completely alone and going through the worst couple of months of her life, that is until her twenty-six year old step brother, Gage decides return home after living and working in Philadelphia for the past couple of years.
Gage is smart, inconceivably attractive, intriguing and completely off limits. Yet he enthralls Blythe in ways that she has been attempting to ignore since she first laid eyes on him when she was twelve years old. Although they lived under the same roof for a year before Gage took off to college, Blythe knows relatively little about him since he'd only visit a couple of times a year and they rarely engaged in meaningful conversation.
As the days go by, Blythe is unable to shake her growing attraction toward her step brother or the emotions that begin to kindle between the two of them. She buries herself in a relationship with Adam, who has been in love with her since they were teenagers. But Blythe is unable to obliterate Gage from her brain because no other man has ever come close to making her feel what Gage ignites in her. She knows that the thought of Gage feeling anything towards her is completely senseless and absurd...or is it?
Will Blythe keep her feelings for her stepbrother hidden away or will she decide to give into something that she desperately wants and needs?
