Getting asked to tutor my brother's best friend should've been simple. Instead, it's turning into the one thing I can't control.

Axel

Remy Hall has been my obsession for years.

My older brother's best friend. My first crush. My biggest mistake waiting to happen.

He's straight. Closed off. Carrying grief so heavy it shadows everything he does.

And me? I joke. I tease. I push—because if I don't, I might actually tell him the truth.

But now he needs me.

Late nights. Close quarters. Stolen glances that linger a little too long.

And suddenly, the lines between us aren't so clear anymore.

Because the way he looks at me?

The way his body reacts when I get too close?

That's not nothing.

But if I let myself believe he could want me, I risk losing him completely.

And I don't think I could survive that.

Remy

I don't do attachments.

Not anymore.

Everyone I've ever loved has been taken from me, and I'm not stupid enough to go through that again.

Then Axel crashes back into my life.

Loud. Reckless. Infuriatingly gorgeous.

He gets under my skin like no one else ever has.

Makes me feel things I don't understand… things I don't want.

Because I'm not like him.

I can't be.

Except my body didn't get that memo.

And every touch, every look, every moment alone with him is pushing me closer to something I can't take back.

Because wanting Axel?

That means facing everything I've buried.

And if I let him in…

I might lose more than just control.

I might lose my heart.

Come Closer to Me is book 2 in the Rock U series and is a steamy, emotional MM romance featuring a lifelong crush, bi awakening, best friend's brother tension, forced proximity tutoring, grief and healing, and an attraction that refuses to stay buried.

Fall for the boy who's always wanted him, and the one who's terrified to want him back.
