Description

He's your childhood nemesis, yet your nickname is tattooed in delicate script on his forearm. For as long as you can remember, Madden Cole Bishop has been your rival. Your families are best friends, trapping you in a state of forced proximity from shared holidays to summer vacations. It's a long-standing war of witty insults and fierce competition, but underneath the bickering lies a truth neither of you will admit: you are each other's comfort zone. He's the one you silently seek out when your world is falling apart, and he's the one whose presence inexplicably calms the storm inside you. You've been secretly in love with him for years, and he with you. But admitting it would mean surrendering in the only war that's ever mattered. Now, a secret he's kept for three years has been exposed, forcing a reckoning that could either shatter your fragile truce or finally ignite the passion you've both denied for so long.
