Aurelia Whitlock is an ex-stepsister I forgot long ago. Until she shows up as a design intern at my fashion company. And that's the easy part. The part where she heats my blood, drawing me away from my grumpy, miserable side is another. She has no business being here.

I saw her, my halfling mate. I craved her like no other, and I'd have her as mine no matter what.
