Luke:

I have two mortal enemies - Max Stephens and whoever decided opposites should attract.

He’s everything I despise. Perfect looks, easy charm. The world falls at his feet the second he flashes a smile. We started our jobs at the same time, but we’re up for the same promotion even though I stay all night while he leaves at five.

I’m pretty sure I’m in love with him.

I can’t explain it, other than possible brain damage. He’s everything I’m not. Everything I wish I could be. If I hadn’t lost my parents so young. If my whole life wasn’t about making my grandparents proud. If I still hadn’t come out for fear of losing them. 

At least that keeps me from embarrassing myself with Max. 

But then life throws a curveball. Close confinement with my archenemy. Days on the road together for work. Forced to get to know him. Learn we’re not so different, that the person beneath his charm is even hotter because it has actual substance. Depth. Hopes. Dreams.

Suddenly, my crush isn’t so bizarre. A future with him isn’t just a fantasy. I could have the guy of my dreams...but only if I risk losing my last real family.

Max:

Everyone thinks my life’s so perfect, but if that’s true, why does my office crush hate my guts? Answer me that!

It’s not like I dream of a white picket fence and a dog with the guy. Much. I don’t even know if he’s gay. Every attempted interaction earns me a death glare, and I have no idea why.

Then we’re crammed in a car driving cross country. I get all the answers I ever wanted and no idea what to do with them. 

Luke is gay. He doesn’t really hate me. He likes me, maybe even more than likes me. Maybe a lot more, judging by the way he kisses me. But he’s still in the closet. Even he doesn’t know if he’ll ever leave it. 

And he might not hate me now, but that could change the second he learns he wasn’t totally wrong about me having advantages he doesn’t.

After all, the boss deciding which of us to promote is my uncle....
