QUEER ROMANCE AUTHOR
TROY
Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister’s pretty face.
He’s cocky. A troublemaker. A pain.
And, unfortunately, my stepbrother.
We’ve been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we’ve used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences.
Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas’s latest bet has gone too far.
Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?
Not a chance.
But if he’s so confident he’s gonna win...well, my big stepbro must not know me as well as he thinks...
ATLAS
I love getting under Troy’s skin.
Mr. Former Prom King. Mr. Heartthrob. Mr. Infuriatingly Perfect. Messing with him is too easy. Too fun. Maybe that’s why I’m a little obsessed with him.
Our latest bet is the perfect way for me to test the bisexual waters, and once I dive headfirst into the deep end, I don’t want to stop.
With Troy. My stepbro.
It was supposed to be just a little fun, yet with each touch, I like him more than I should. It wasn’t supposed to go this far. Now I want Troy to be all mine.
But what we’re doing has bigger consequences than our little step bet, and when the stakes are this high, is it worth gambling our hearts when we know this is a game we both could lose?
This is the first book in the Peach State Stepbros Series. It can be read as a standalone.
Trigger Warning: The Step Bet is a steamy romance, but one of the secondary characters struggles with addiction. This may act as a trigger for some readers.

ASH
All stepbrothers need Step Don'ts.
​
Colin and I have ours.
Like, don't pit our parents against either of us. Don't hog the TV. And definitely...
Don't.
Keep.
Secrets.
These rules have done more than help us keep the peace between us.
After all these years since our parents got together, I can't imagine my life without Colin.
To most people, he's the hot, straight tight end for Peach State.
​
But to me, he's my backward-cap-wearing, football-loving, piggyback-ride-giving best friend and fellow Alpha Theta Mu frat bro.
Life's pretty incredible living together at the same frat house, but suddenly, I find myself keeping a particularly naughty secret.
I tell myself Colin wouldn't want to know what his bi bro does in private, but then why do I feel like I'm committing a huge Step Don't?
COLIN
There's nothing I'm more of an expert in than my stepbro, Ash.
​
He's a quick-witted, nerd-boy genius who's always there to help a friend cram for a test or capture bugs for me when they invade my space.
He's my favorite person.
Making him happy gives me a rush...but for the first time, he's keeping a secret from me.
When Ash cops to his Step Don't—his new extracurricular of doing dirty things on camera—I'm confused.
He is too, so we work together to figure out why this excites him so much.
In places we're likely to get caught.
After all, what's a little exhibitionism between stepbros?
I didn't even realize I could be into guys—or be so intoxicated by these new experiences—but exploring my bisexuality with Ash is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
And with each touch, each time we up the stakes, I discover I want more than just Ash's body.
I want his heart too, even though that surely must be the biggest Step Don't of all.
