Permission to Love

Lindsey first met her stepbrother when she was ten years old. Lucas was seventeen and handsome, and after her real mother died, he treated her very kindly. Before she knew it, Lindsey started to think of Lucas quite fondly. However, after the sudden death of their parents, the two of them were left alone. Lucas, once kind and loving, grew cold and reserved, as if he'd become another person. Worse, he was pressuring her to get married. Why was he trying to push her away?
