Overview

EVELYN

My brother’s last words weren’t a request—they were a plea: protect his daughters. I owe him that much, and I won’t fail. But what he didn’t know—what he couldn’t have known—is how Sophia would grow into the kind of woman who makes protecting her the hardest thing I’ve ever done. She isn’t the shy teenager I left behind. She’s bold, confident, with a body that demands attention and eyes that dare me to break every rule I’ve ever lived by. She’s a fire I shouldn’t touch, but I can’t stop looking, can’t stop wanting. And now we’re here, under the same roof, hiding from a mafia threat that could destroy us all. But the real danger? It’s the way she smiles at me, the way she moves, the way she makes me need her in ways I can never allow. I promised my brother I’d protect her. But no one warned me I’d need to protect her from myself.

SOPHIA

I was just a kid the first time I fell for Evelyn Lockhart. She was everything I wasn’t—strong, beautiful, untouchable. I followed her like a puppy, desperate for scraps of her attention, obsessing over the way she carried herself, the way she owned every room she walked into. And then she disappeared. Now, she’s back. The step-aunt I once worshipped is harder, colder—and hotter than I ever imagined. Living in her Montana estate under the shadow of a mafia threat should have been suffocating, but all it’s done is reignite that obsession, stronger and more reckless than ever. Because now I’m not a kid anymore. I’m not the girl she left behind, dreaming of a woman she could never see. I’m a woman, too—and I want her to see that. She thinks she’s here to protect me. But I don’t need her to be my savior. I need her to lose control, to give in, to fall just as hard as I have.

The Ways She Makes Me Sin is a dark, steamy sapphic romance featuring an age gap, forbidden desire, a looming mafia threat, and a love so dangerous it teeters on obsession.
