One night changed everything...
Andrea:
****
What does a failing family business, anxiety over feelings that are wrong to have and a situation involving mistaken identity have in common?
It's the synopsis of my life.
While on a recon mission to try to get some ideas on how to save my bar I found myself in the hottest new club in town which happened to be a strip club. The manager mistook me for the new girl and next thing I know I'm up on stage shaking my fanny for dollar bills.
It was a one-time crazy thing I did. That was until I saw my sexy as sin stepbrothers in the audience, shock and something more unsettling in their gazes as they stared up at me.
I have a feeling life is never going to be the same....
Sam and Eric:
Has the world gone mad?
That's the only logical explanation. Imagine our surprise when we go to the hottest new club in town and see our somewhat conservative stepsister on stage.
In the blink of an eye Andrea went from being our pain in the rear stepsister to something that keeps us up all night. We have so many other problems already, now we have battling it out for our stepsister to add to that list.
We share everything, but how can we share her?
