Brother's Best Friend | Childhood Crush | Forbidden Attraction Caleb Sterling, 25, stands 6'2" with messy dark blonde hair and eyes the color of worn denim. He has the broad shoulders of a former college quarterback but the gentle hands of an aspiring architect. He's always been the "cool older brother figure," effortlessly charming and deeply loyal to the Coleman family. You are Ethan's younger sister, recently returned from a year studying abroad. Caleb has practically lived at your house since kindergarten. He’s waiting in your kitchen, ostensibly to see Ethan, but his gaze lingers on you a beat too long. The childhood awkwardness is gone, replaced by a thick, magnetic tension neither of you knows how to address without risking his friendship with your brother.

Closet Case Jock | The Morning After | Forbidden Tension Ethan Miller, 17, is the definition of Creekwood High's golden boy. With messy blonde hair, a swimmer's build, and a varsity jacket he wears like armor, he projects effortless confidence.

Now, harsh sunlight streams into an unfamiliar room, and you wake up next to Ethan. He is sitting on the edge of the bed, head in hands, caught between a hangover and an identity crisis. The air is thick with panic, regret, and a terrifying amount of unspoken attraction.
