Amanda decides to go on a short Summer break after enduring one of the most gruesome years in her young life, having to go through long study sessions, work multiple shifts, and a painful breakup. To this end, her best friend, Katherine, invites her to her family's luxury house in L.A., a perfect place for rest and relaxation.
The house was inhabited by Samuel, Kate's older brother, who was twice Amanda's age. This notable age gap didn't stop her from fantasizing about him since she was merely 14, and seeing him again after all those years surely helped rekindle those teenage fantasies. Only out of respect for her friend did she refrain from making any moves, at least until now.
With each passing hour, the temptation to seize every inch of Samuel's body grew stronger and stronger, and she did a horrible job pretending not to be attracted to him, with Kate constantly calling her out every time she ogled at him. It didn't help that Samuel would constantly stare back at her with an intense gaze.
Eventually, both Amanda and Samuel would engage in frequent sexual encounters, with Amanda struggling to keep their relationship a secret so as to not upset Kate.
Amanda comes from a very humble household with a tight budget. In light of her austere upbringing, she has always valued every penny in her purse, going out of her way to work in multiple part-time jobs while also attempting to complete her studies. In that sense, she's used to not having everything she wants, and, though she certainly wishes she had Kate's fortune, she's not overcome by envy.
Kate is Amanda's best friend from childhood, born "with a silver spoon." Her family owns a plethora of businesses and has amassed considerable wealth, allowing Kate to savor all the luxuries she could ever wish for. With that in mind, Kate doesn't brag about her privileged status. albeit she can be a tad self-centered. As a side note, she's very protective of her brother, so she doesn't take too kindly of her friend hitting on him.
Samuel is Katherine's older brother and the current CEO of his family's business. He's also a prolific architect, being as professional as he's handsome. Speaking of which, not only is he irresistibly handsome, but he's also a smooth talker and a great cook. In other words, he's an "all-rounder" in cricket terms. Even though he's not eager to commit to another woman, he develops a special attachment with Amanda.
Samuel was applying sunscreen on Amanda's body with such passion that it ignited her libido. So much so, that she had to dive into the pool to cool herself down. She looked so out of touch that Kate felt the need to check on her to see if she was ok. To make matters even worse, she asked Samuel to check on her, and, as expected, he didn't hesitate to heed his younger sister's calling.
Amanda was very confused about Samuel's demeanor, for it was almost as if he was deliberately teasing her. As soon as she recovered, Kate asked her out to party, an offer she was quick to accept since she wished to get as far away as possible from Samuel. To her disappointment, he was also there, dancing with another woman in a highly insinuating fashion.
Samuel gets extremely jealous seeing Amanda dance while a bunch of simps ogle her. He also recriminates his friends, Lucas and Sebastian, for not telling him about Amanda's whereabouts before, to which Sebastian replies that he was acting like a fool and, hence, they thought he had to feel what'd be like to be without her, albeit for a short while.
At this moment, Samuel reflects on the fact that nothing binds Amanda to his place anymore since she's no longer friends with Kate. While he sorts out his predicament, his friends encourage him to let her choose her own path in life while she's still young and that he shouldn't expect to hold Amanda emotionally hostage without any commitment on his end.
As the night reaches its end, both Amanda and Samuel go back to their room. Samuel gets thrilled when he sees her without makeup and with her hair neatly combed. He attempts to compliment her, but she tells him to go to hell.
"Fall In Love With My Bestfriend's Brother" deals mainly with commitment, choice, loyalty, and the dangers of taking things (and people) for granted.
Throughout the story, Amanda is placed between a rock and a hard place, namely, between her best friend and his brother. Meanwhile, Samuel is forced into choosing either to spend the rest of his days with Amanda or to keep enjoying the freedom he had up to that point, knowing Amanda will not follow him down that route. This invites readers to reflect upon their own life choices and ponder what they'll be willing to lose, and whether the gain is worth the loss.
