James never asked for a new family. At seventeen, he's trying to focus on surviving his final year of school-not dealing with the arrogant, infuriating college student who suddenly moves into his house after his mother marries Martin Edwards' father. Martin Edwards is everything James can't stand. Cocky. Annoyingly calm. A fuckboy. Always wearing that irritating smirk. And somehow always finding a way to get under James' skin. Sharing a roof means constant arguments, sarcastic remarks, slammed doors, and a rivalry that only gets worse with every passing day. But hatred has a strange way of turning into something neither of them expected. As stolen glances replace glaring stares and late-night conversations reveal the people behind the walls they've built, James and Martin find themselves caught between resentment and feelings they know they shouldn't have. Living together was supposed to make them family. Instead, it changed everything. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story filled with sharp banter, undeniable chemistry, and the question of what happens when the person you're supposed to hate becomes the one you can't stop thinking about. 𝐨𝐡 (𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩) 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝗔 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 Mature content involved.
