Born with a silver spoon to a well-established family, Brent Haralson has never been interested in leveraging his connections. Friends, success, and dates come easily to Brent and rejection isn’t something he has to deal with in life. And then he meets perfect Kyle Potter.

Kyle despises his unwelcome crush on his lazy, arrogant nemesis. Brent welcomes his feelings for his stubborn, brilliant friend. As it turns out, the line between a friend and an enemy doesn’t have to be a line at all.

Chapter 1

“Hey. You been here long?”

Shifting in the slightly off-balance chair, Kyle Potter looked up from his phone. He was in a bar, surrounded by laughing, drinking, dancing men, but all he could focus on was the too-long to-do list he had left at the office. He blinked at his friend, his brain struggling to change gears from emails to what was supposed to be a fun night out, his first in over a month.

Shaking his head, he said, “No, I just got here.”

“Cool.” Matthew sat and darted his gaze from side to side. “Is anyone using those chairs?” He pointed to another table.

“Uh. I have no idea.” Kyle had walked into the bar, found an empty spot, and started checking his messages. He hadn’t had time to get a drink let alone scope out his surroundings.

Reviews

Very much a Cardeno C book, with very little angst or drama save Kyle losing his job and his home. I loved the way Kyle didn't like Brent very much because of what he thought he represented. Loved that Kyle didn't like how Brent made him feel, with out Brent even knowing it. Loved that last line!! I think I might go back and READ this one at some point.

GAHHHHHH. Cardeno C got me again with Rough Edges. Two more boys to add to my list of favorites. I’m a sucker for a friend/enemy story. Rich pretty boy Brent and brooding hard working Kyle. Talk about polar opposites, but you can’t always judge a book by its cover especially when it comes to these boys. They are so much more then what they want us to see…..
It’s amazing how much information and character development CC can put in a short story. Definitely a fun, flirty and hot read

Up All Night

Very romantic read, and would highly recommend for those who love to reach an HEA in under an hour.

Multitasking Momma

Seet with a lovely ending and if you need a smile to brighten your day, this story will definitely do it.
