Overview

Two stepbros: A bad boy with a sunshine smile; a grumpy gym rat with eyes like a storm. Ten years since they've seen each other—one forbidden, spicy weekend before goodbye.

When I was eighteen, I stupidly fell in love with my best friend/stepbrother, Lochlin Mackenzie.

We punched each other’s v-cards the summer after high-school graduation, and part of me hoped our forbidden relationship would survive, especially after my sister, Piper, gave us her support.

But then Lochlin left.

I didn’t see or hear from him for ten years.

So imagine my panic when he shows up unannounced at Piper’s wedding, screaming bohemian sex with his shoulder-length curls and cheap guitar. I’m angry, flustered, horny—and that combination lands me where I shouldn’t be: Pounding him into the bridal suite mattress.

Unfortunately, forbidden sex isn’t the only wedding disaster. And Piper is fed up with my self-pity. So at the end of her botched wedding, she gives me an ultimatum. Either I join the family, plus Lochlin, on a weekend trip to figure out my unresolved issues with him... or Mom and Dad find out about us Monday morning.

Maybe this is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for... One last weekend where I can indulge my shameful lust and lock away any memories before I have to say goodbye for good.

But if there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that Lochlin Mackenzie can’t be trusted. I know. I trusted him once, and it left me irreparably broken.

I swear to God I’ll never let him do that to me again.

All I Ask is a contemporary MM standalone romance with a sunshiny bad-boy; a grumpy sad boi; searing hot lust for stepbro; and a sweet second chance—proving that you can’t forget true love, no matter how hard you try.
