Cat Sebastian's long-awaited foray into contemporary romance! A witty, emotional, and deliciously slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance between two costars on a popular sci-fi television series. Simon and Charlie, actors on a long-running sci-fi show, can't stand one another. Charlie is impetuous, outgoing, and basically feral, and Simon thinks he should have stayed in reality television where he belongs. They've spent the better part of a decade quarreling over the spotlight and pretty much everything else, and everybody in the industry knows it. Now that Simon's contract is finally done, he can move to New York, start fresh with work he actually likes, and get away from Charlie. Simon's only problem is that people might assume he's been pushed off the show due to being impossible to work with. And he is kind of difficult to work with. He doesn't get along with people--unlike Charlie, who somehow tricked everyone on the show into adoring him despite some outrageously bad on-set behavior during the show's first season. Simon would rather never have to see Charlie again, but reluctantly agrees to stage a very public friendship during the short time before he moves. When Charlie has to leave town to deal with a family emergency, this means Simon comes along. Their road trip brings Simon to places he would never have willingly chosen to visit--and he finds he's actually not having a terrible time. The more he gets to know Charlie, the more Simon suspects he's underestimated his former coworker. Simon also realizes that after seven years, Charlie might know him better than anyone ever has. Even stranger, Charlie seems to be starting to actually like him, despite knowing him so well. Still, Simon is about to move three thousand miles away, so whatever's starting between him and Charlie can't really amount to anything... right?

*Bryant and Tynleigh's Prequel* Passion is everywhere. It's in everyone, especially women, just waiting to be freed. I like to pride myself on finding the most passionate. The ones that don't need me for anything other than a good time for a while and then moving on with their lives. My life has been one spiral of fun right after another, and I like it that way. I live with no regrets. I've experienced women in many forms. I've loved, lost, and found again. I love their bodies, I lose her when she's tired of being sexually benefitted friends-or in the last case, running back to the one that she wanted all along-and then I find another when the perfect target stumbles upon my witty charm. It's a repetitive game I've played most of my teenage and adult life. I'm perfectly fine with a woman using me, as long as she's using me for my body. But I suppose the last one could have ended before I was ready. Just as I was preparing to bang my way into someone else, Joel called. When the fucker calls, I drop what I'm doing and fly to New York, because it's usually warranted, and he's family. God only knows he's been dished a shitty hand. It was supposed to be a rescue mission like it always is, but maybe it's me that needs to be rescued more than anyone. There she was-the woman that will forever change my life. I just didn't know it when I boarded that plane, California bound. It's funny how consequences to our own actions can bring us to the very place we're meant to be . . . for the rest of our lives. And dammit, she's just as resistant as me.
