The Bad Idea (SAMPLE)
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.
