The Hating Game meets a much hotter Morning Glory—if the grumpy media exec was her brother’s best friend, and this time they actually kissed.

Liam Lockhart is my brother’s best friend, a decade older, and the kind of mistake I swore I’d never make twice.

Two years ago, we kissed—hard, hot, unforgettable—until he shoved me away like I was a mistake he couldn’t afford. Message received.

So I did what any heartbroken writer would do: I turned him into the villain of my webcomic. Broody, smug, infuriating—and totally based on Liam.

I thought I was subtle. I wasn’t.

Now, thanks to a twist of fate (and my brother’s injury), Liam’s offering me the job of a lifetime: head writer on a hit show for his streaming platform.

The catch?

Working with him every day—while he pretends he hasn’t bonded with the stray mutt now following him everywhere—and trying not to strangle (or kiss) each other.

I should say no. I should remember how it felt when he ghosted me.

But this is my dream job. And staying professional is the plan.

Right up until his lips crash into mine again.

We can keep it casual. We can keep it quiet.

As long as my brother never finds out.

As long as we don’t catch feelings.

As long as I don’t do something truly stupid—like falling for my brother’s best friend.

Kissing Liam the first time was a mistake. Doing it again? A disaster waiting to happen.
