Hate Me Closer - An MM Enemies to Lovers Stepbrother Romance #978427

Three years ago, Finn Calloway dismantled Eli Voss in front of everyone who mattered.
Not cruelly. Precisely. One question, in a graduate critique room, found the one angle Eli hadn't protected and named it in front of the entire cohort. Eli rebuilt himself from the wreckage. He spent three years making his work untouchable, his walls impenetrable, and his feelings about Finn Calloway organized into something clean and functional and entirely under control.
He calls it professional motivation.
He knows what it actually is.
Now their parents have gotten married, Finn is in his mother's new house with a duffel bag and a key, and Eli has exactly two weeks to finish the most important bid of his career before everything changes.
The rules are simple. The kitchen has designated hours. The dining room table is Eli's until seven. The wall stays up.
The wall lasts approximately four days.
Because Finn sees the problem in his bid that he's been missing for a month and solves it in seven minutes without being asked. Because there's a sketchbook with Eli's hands drawn in it from three years of looking that Finn never planned to show him. Because somewhere between a power outage and a site visit in Astoria and a kitchen on a Thursday night, both things start being true simultaneously — the hurt and the wanting, the history and the here, the wall and the man standing in the opened-up place where the wall used to be.
Hate Me Closer is a slow-burning, steamy MM enemies to lovers romance about two architects who think in load and structure and have been, for three years, the most significant load-bearing element in each other's lives without admitting it. The tension builds from the first collision in the entry hall and doesn't stop. The heat is earned through honesty, delivered through the specific intimacy of two men who have finally stopped managing the distance between them.
Sharp. Devastating. Built to last.
Eli and Finn get their HEA. No cliffhangers. No ambiguity. Just two men who chose each other — through the list, through the conflict, through every complicated thing — and kept choosing.
Hate Me Closer is a standalone novel with a complete HEA. Steamy content for 18+ readers.
