Lover Boy: The Boys of Apartment 13 Book 2: ILLUSTRATED COVER EDITION

About this book

Cadence Howard is no stranger to bad decisions, but allowing his stepbrother, Nicolas Aldana, to move into his apartment might be his biggest mistake yet. Their relationship is defined by years of resentment and mutual disdain, stemming from a fractured family history that left both men feeling abandoned and replaced. To Cade, Nic is the golden child who ruined his life; to Nic, Cade is the lucky outsider who stole his father’s affection. Living in such close quarters, the tension between them is suffocating and explosive. They clash constantly, fueled by a history of hurt and the forced proximity of their living situation. Yet, beneath the biting insults and the wall of hatred they have carefully constructed, a volatile attraction simmers. What starts as a bitter power struggle quickly shifts into something far more dangerous. As the lines between enmity and desire blur, the two men find themselves unable to ignore the intense chemistry that threatens to consume them both. Featuring the classic "enemies to lovers" trope and high-stakes forced proximity, *Lover Boy* is a gripping exploration of jealousy, longing, and the thin line between love and hate. Can they move past their traumatic history, or will their resentment finally break them?
