Cali Boy: Special Edition - Charli Meadows

Finn

One devastating night. One tragic accident.

I survived, but the boy I used to be didn't.

And I've been on a downward spiral of anger and resentment ever since. That is until my father makes a selfish decision that changes the course of my life and my future.

It brings him into it.

Golden-haired surfer boy, Oliver Chase.

Sunshine personified and my new stepbrother.

I want to hate him, but his shy smiles and endearing dimples have me questioning everything I thought I knew about myself. I definitely don't deserve him, and I'll probably hurt him, but the ease with which he breaks down the walls surrounding my battered heart might not leave me with a choice.

Oliver

I don't look back when Mom moves us from our sleepy California beach town to the wealthy suburbs of Chicago. I need a fresh start, to leave all the negativity and hate behind me, and I'm taking it.

But I wasn't expecting the grumpy, brooding, hurt boy that bangs on my bedroom door. Nor was I expecting the toxic relationship he has with his dad, my mom's new husband.

With mounting tensions at school and home, I'm not sure how to feel about this fresh start anymore. But what I do know is that Finn's tender touches and growly commands make me want him. And you should never lust after a straight boy... especially your new stepbrother.
