It sounds cruel, but it's survival: I can't become attached.
Freelance editor Oliver Lakewood moves to New York City to chase his dreams and a chance encounter flips his world upside-down. Anthony, his sexy but distant older stepbrother, is back in his life and nothing will ever be the same. He is furious at Anthony for having abandoned his family – and him – fifteen years ago, but can't resist his powerful pull as sparks fly.
Anthony Hollows, an energy vampire, never thought he'd see his younger stepbrother again. Anthony doesn't age, but Oliver's grown into a gorgeous man. Smart, curious, and loyal, Oliver is everything Anthony wants in a mate, but he shouldn't claim Oliver... should he? When their paths cross, he's forced to confront his past and embrace the future.
Anthony's comfortable life is thrown into paranormal chaos when Oliver discovers the truth about werewolves, vampires, werebears, and more. Despite Anthony's resistance and Oliver's resentment, Oliver demands to know more about his estranged stepbrother. The two must come together to stand firm against their family and face new threats. On the streets of New York City, the shifters are restless, and Anthony and Oliver will need to trust each other completely to survive.
Stepbrother Vamp is the second steamy paranormal gay romance novel in the "Stepmates" series.
