Sharp banter. Slow burn tension. A frenemies-to-lovers MM romance novella with heart and heat. Eli // Aubrey drives me insane. He talks too loud, laughs too hard, and somehow manages to get under my skin every damn time. I tell myself it's because he's obnoxious-because he's the last person I'd ever want to spend time with. But then he lets me show up for movie nights, sitting too close, tossing popcorn at my face, and suddenly the silence between us starts feeling heavier than the noise. I should know better. I probably do. But every time he smiles, it stops mattering. Aubrey // Eli's impossible. Broody, stubborn, and allergic to admitting he cares about anyone. I swore I'd never fall for someone like him, and yet here I am watching horror movies just to make him laugh, picking fights just to keep him talking. Somewhere between all the snark and late nights, something shifted. Now I'm stuck wondering if we're still pretending to hate each other, or if his bad idea might actually be the best thing that's ever happened to me. 📖 Part of the Warner Park Collection The Bad Idea is part of the Warner Park Collection, a set of interconnected romances set in Los Angeles.

When shy bartender Elliot is approached by a handsome stranger on a park bench at midnight, their unlikely attraction unravels everything they know about themselves, and the crime-ridden city around them. *** Elliot Taylor is running out of places to hide. Trapped between a ruthless father, a dead-end job, and a future that feels just out of reach, he spends his nights on park benches clinging to one goal: get into college and get out for good. What he doesn't plan on is Noah Black. Vice President of the Stray Dogs Motorcycle Club. Infamous. Observant. Relentless. Far too charming for a man with a reputation for violence, and determined to pry into wounds Elliot would rather pretend don't exist. Through chance encounters and sleepless nights, the two can't seem to avoid each other. But Noah's life comes with complications: a motorcycle club under pressure, threats closing in, and loyalties that crumble when tested. As Elliot drifts deeper into Noah's current, he cannot help but realize how dangerously close he's falling -- even as deadly secrets threaten to unravel everything they've fought so hard for. Soon, Elliot must face a choice: keep chasing the life he's always dreamed of, or confront the truths that could shatter everything he knows... including his past, his heart, and the man who refuses to let him go.
