Next Year In Havana

Sage never expected her life to change overnight. One day she was a broke girl living with her overworked single mother and the next, she was moving into a billionaire’s mansion with a new stepfather and a stepbrother she had never met. The twenty one year old, tattooed,rich, dangerous. Andre Wolfe. A walking sin wrapped up as her step brother. He doesn’t speak much. He doesn’t smile. He carries secrets in his eyes and bruises on his knuckles. And from the moment Sage meets him, she knows one thing, he is trouble and she should stay far away. But staying away becomes impossible when Andre makes it clear he sees her, really sees her. The girl who was dumped for being “too good.” The girl who doesn’t fit in this glittering world. The girl he calls little saint with a voice that ruins her breath. He is the epitome of temptation, and she is the perfect picture of innocence. Step siblings aren’t supposed to crave each other. Especially not when family, lies, and a dangerous past threaten to destroy everything. Their love is forbidden. Their desire is explosive. And their story starts with a kiss that should never have happened.

My father died of esophageal cancer. For the final two years of his life, he could barely swallow anything. By the time he passed, he was nothing but skin and bones. The first New Year after his death, he came to my mother in a dream. "I'm starving," he said. "I just want to taste the thick-cut steak you used to make." My mother believed it without question. That very day, she pan-seared a large platter of steak and carried it to his grave. The next morning, she suffered a sudden heart attack and died on the spot. Devastated, I handled my mother's funeral together with my husband. That same night, my husband dreamed of my father as well. "Chester," he said, "I haven't eaten in so long. I want your pâté, served with some strong liquor." When my husband woke up, he bought the finest liver pâté, opened a bottle of single-malt whiskey, and went straight to the grave. However, not long after returning home, he collapsed from acute liver failure. He was rushed to the ICU and died three days later. I was on the brink of collapse myself. I left my daughter in the care of a close friend while I tried to handle the endless wave of tragedy. That evening, my daughter never came home from school. I searched everywhere, and finally, on the road to the cemetery, I found her. She was clutching a bowl of spicy stew, several grilled sausages floating in the broth. "Mom," she said, "Grandpa and I used to eat this all the time. I dreamed he said he was hungry." I finally lost it. I knocked the bowl from her hands and carried her home. That night, my father appeared in my dream once more. "I suffered so much while alive," he said. "Have some pity on me. "New Year's is coming. I want to come home for a meal. Make sure you cook fish." I woke in terror. Holding my daughter, I sat before the three framed portraits for two full days without eating or drinking. On New Year's morning, I realized she was no longer breathing. Clutched tightly in her hand was a packet of spicy dried salmon. I could not believe it. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my mother, her eyes red with worry, said she was going out to buy steak.
