Bound By Blood: Anthology by Cora Reilly

 

A stepbrother forbidden mafia romance

 

(Love in Lockdown Charity Anthology, 2020)

 

Stella is a forbidden fruit Mauro isn’t allowed to taste.

Not only because she isn’t promised to him but also because she’s his stepsister.

She used to be his annoying shadow, the little girl he needed to protect and babysit. Now she’s all grown-up and he can’t stop noticing. Being locked into a panic room with her might be the ultimate test of his self-control…

Mauro has always been her protector and ally until she starts to see him as more. Afraid of his reaction, she hides her attraction. But can she keep doing so when they’re trapped in a small room all alone?
