Graham Stephan Books Novels & Stories

"It's a group study not a state funded research project into new biofuels!" "Oh darling," mum cut in from the kitchen doorway with that tone she used when she was about to embarrass me while smiling pleasantly about it. "Be a little nicer to your best friend. And honestly… your grades could really use the extra effort." Stephanie shot me a triumphant look over the top of the stack in her arms and I considered briefly whether I had ever actually liked her. Then we went upstairs. She dumped the mountain of books on my desk with a crash that shook my lamp.

And that's all that mattered even if she was cursing me. . ____ A. Gupta Check out my completed books: Mafia Romance with dark, DARK Heroes: Bride to Be, CAGED, Twisted Marriage!! And another sweet, angsty, steamy book duo: His Broken Princess and His Steel Princess!!

"This is wrong! He’s my stepbrother and I hate him! He’s cruel, he’s disrespectful and he makes my life miserable. But why can’t I tear my eyes away? It’s like I’m hypnotized, staring at his body, dammit!” Oh no! This can’t be happening. I am not attracted to him. Yes, he has a nice body, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a terrible person. And I shouldn’t be admiring him. He's my stepbrother for Pete’s sake! I can’t be lusting over my freaking stepbrother!

Please be—oh. Mom. Or should I say…Grace Cross? A sigh escapes me and I drop the phone on my lap and take a strained sip of my drink. “You're not going to answer it?” “I don't need to. I already know what she's going to say.” That I'm a whore who only slept with my stepbrother to wreck her marriage. That all I had to do was be happy for her instead of…whatever the fuck I did. Silence hangs in the air, and I keep my eyes on the window, watching the water dribble down slowly as the smell of something cooking fills the air.

To all my incredible readers on GoodNovel— Thank you so much for walking this emotional road with Xavier, Henry, and me. 🖤 “My Stepbrother, My Mate” wasn’t just a story—it was a journey of love, grief, healing, and the kind of connection that not even death could break. 🌌💔 I know… there may be some unresolved threads, plot holes, or side characters you wish had more closure—some might’ve been missed by mistake, and others were left open on purpose… for the future. 😉🔮

Heath followed, heavier footsteps, eyes darting toward me then away. I closed the book softly. “Where are you coming from?” They froze. Just for a second, but it was enough. Stephan shot Heath a look that might as well have been a conversation. Heath scowled, shifting his weight, while Stephan drew in that slow, careful breath he always did when he was about to feed me something I wouldn’t like. “Brooks,” Stephan started, tone too even. I stood. “Don’t lie to me.” That stopped him.

The only guy on campus who had truly managed to awaken a genuine interest in me, despite his obvious and undeniable inclinations, was Luke. However, there was a single exception in the entire university universe. Someone I had always observed from the distance of the Sigma hallways, considering him an unattainable myth I would never in my life dare to approach: Steven Sadman. The goddamn captain of the university's football team was standing just three meters away from us. I watched him walk toward us with a black canvas hand bag slung over his left shoulder and a suitcase in his other hand.

“Thank you, baby.” I nodded, pulling away gently. “I’m gonna go get a drink.” Before either of them could say anything else, I turned and walked away, the heels that once clicked confidently now dragging slightly behind me. The pit in my stomach was back. I had a stepfather who kept secrets. A mother in the dark. A stepbrother who's obsessed with me. A house that didn’t feel like mine. And a whole lot of questions no one wanted to answer. Worst part? I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to know them anymore.

That novel contained my heart and soul, and I was glad to see that people had enjoyed it as much as I did. So yeah, a deadly breakup, three friends, and three years later, I became Kara Livingston, a 21 year old published author. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Today was the day of my very first book launch party. This party was all Cole's idea. He had arranged everything, including finding the right contacts and promotion deals for my book. He seriously outshined my own publicist.

Not just because he had no choice, but because he couldn't imagine existing any other way. Ashamed of my thoughts — or maybe just embarrassed — I returned to my stare-down with the kitchen table. "Drystan owns a book shop," Stephanie suggested. "When Genesis isn't with us fighting crime, she can go there. God knows she'll need to get away from Ethan in order to have some breathing room." Ethan rolled his eyes. "Drystan?" I repeated. "He's immortal too?" "Ancient." Mason nodded. "Another werewolf obsessed with books. It should be a good arrangement."
