Step rival:A forbidden love storyUpdated at May 3, 2026, 13:02
Jason Milburn was never supposed to be permanent. To me, he was just the shirtless god at track practice, the arrogant quarterback who thought every girl in Atlanta was his for the taking. He was my crush, my rival, and the one person I loved to belittle just to see the fire in his eyes.Then my mother married his father.Now, the boy whose lips taste like watermelon bubblegum and whose stares make me feel flustered and exposed is sitting across from me at the dining table. My "brother."My mother is looking for a fresh start after a devastating divorce. Jason is looking for his next conquest. And I’m just trying to survive the heat of a shared roof without breaking the one rule that matters. In the stadium, he's the king. On the track, I'm the queen. But behind closed doors in our new Brookhaven home, the game has changed,and the penalty for getting caught is a scandal that will burn both our futures to the ground.
