The Lost Stepson cover

Alijah has spent years being told exactly who he should be—until he finally runs.

California promises freedom. Lorenzo promises nothing.

He’s older. Successful. The man Alijah has always trusted most. His step-uncle. And the moment those dark eyes settle on Alijah, every carefully buried want claws its way to the surface.

Lorenzo knows how to make him tremble. How to command without cruelty. How to turn lace, submission, whispered rules, and filthy desire into something that feels dangerously close to devotion.

Their connection is intense. Their chemistry is undeniable. Wanting Lorenzo was never supposed to be an option until one touch makes Alijah wonder how much longer either of them can resist.

The Lost Stepson, book one in the Love by Different Rules series, is an erotic MM romance featuring age gap, BDSM, Daddy/boy dynamics, forbidden desire, hurt/comfort, found family, and a love that was never meant to be.
