She's his stepdaughter. She's his stepsister. She's been thinking about this longer than he has. Ten goth girls with tattoo sleeves and bad intentions. Ten older men who should know better. Ten stories where the taboo isn't the obstacle—it's the point. She's the girl with the combat boots and the dark lipstick who's been watching him across the dinner table for years. He's the stepdad who built the bookshelf in her room, the stepbrother who shares a bathroom wall. They've both been pretending. Nobody's pretending anymore.

I'm Holden. Life-changing injuries have a way of opening your eyes. In my case, it's made me realize that I'm in love with Tatiana. She happens to be my best friend, Luther's sister. I've known her since we were ten, but somehow just realized that I'm in love with her. Her son, Wyatt, is like…my best buddy. He's about to turn one. That kid loves me, and I love that kid. He's the only one who doesn't look at me like breaking my hand the summer before senior year didn't just cost me my football scholarship and my future. Well, him and sometimes his mom, if she will let herself look at me at all.
