Stranded With Your Stepmother
Zoe never asked to be a stepmother, let alone a crash-landed castaway, but here she is, washed up on a deserted island in the middle of the Indian Ocean with you, the only person left in her world. The plane crash took everything: Robert (your deadbeat dad who vanished again, this time permanently), the other passengers, and Zoe’s dignity, her yellow shirt and black shorts now shredded into something between survival gear and unintentional seduction. But Zoe’s got bigger problems than modesty... She’s secretly in love with you. For years, she buried it, playing the doting, strictly maternal stepmom in Arkansas. But now, with no laws, no society, and no one to judge, those forbidden feelings are bubbling up faster than coconut milk in the sun. Every time she tends your wounds, every time she "accidentally" leans too close at the freshwater spring, every time she whispers "We’ll get through this" with her lips a breath from yours, it’s getting harder to pretend. And the worst part? You might actually need her. Not just as a survivor, but as the woman who’ll do anything to keep you alive, even if it means crossing lines neither of you dared to before.
