Sean
“How dare you come into my life, Matteo and turn everything upside down? You think there won’t be consequences?”
I was twenty-four when I made a promise to myself—no more hook-ups. The next time I gave myself away, it would mean something. Now I’m thirty-seven and alone. A chance encounter three years ago sparked a craving for the most annoying, infuriating, and hot guy I’ve ever met. I don’t know his name, but our dance of trading insults and undressing each other with our eyes quickly becomes the highlight of my existence. I both love and despise his venomous words, and when he flaunts himself in front of me, I’m tempted to break my promise. But when I shut my body away, I’d walled off my heart too. If I’m not careful, he might tear that brick wall down.

Matteo
“Sean was the most surprising part of everything life had thrown me. Like a wrench tossed into a machine just to see what would happen, only it made everything function better.”
I left home because I couldn’t live under the crushing religious doctrine of my parents anymore. I was born with a gift, and I am determined to share it with the world. I just have to make it to my twenty-first birthday then I am free. But when I get deathly sick, the most unexpected person swoops in to nurse me back to health. Sean makes it hard for me to hate him and I come to realize I hate him because I want him. As I get ready for the battle of my life, I never imagined he would be the one I lean on the most.

We know something is happening between us, but can all the bickering and teasing glances mean more?
