A series of dates for millions of dollars donated to the museum, but it requires Liam to hang out with the man intent on tormenting him. Both Liam and Rome feel like they were wronged by the other when they were children, but now neither can forget how important that friendship was, nor ignore their current attraction.
From the blurb:
I never wanted to see Rome Ashbridge again.
So, of course, I now need his help to save my job at the museum.
Rome has cooked up a scheme to torment me before he’s willing to make the job-saving donation to my department.
But this arrangement is poised to backfire and pull us together in the most unexpected way.
Can we move past the years of hate to find something even sweeter than the friendship we’d both cherished as children?
The Arrangement is the third full-length novel in the Executive Suite Secrets series, which includes a somewhat flighty billionaire librarian, an angry paleontologist, evil schemes, bisexual awakening, snark, teasing, stolen kisses, “helpful” friends, resolving a twenty-year-old argument, and a sweet, forever kind of love.
SNik's review:
Third in series (Executive Suite Secrets), but can be read as a standalone. Former best friends. Adversarial to lovers. Pansexual representation. Mature characters. Slow burn. Dual POV.
One kiss and Rome ruined Liam’s life when they were kids. Now Liam is supposed to get the billionaire to donate to the museum where Liam works, but Rome is extorting five dates from him in exchange. Rome wants to annoy and torture Liam, but neither of them realize that their old bond is hard to forget.
I always like a story that has old friends unable to shake the closeness they shared, and Liam and Rome never forgot their time together twenty years ago. Even though both men have reason to resent the other, the time they spend together is actually sweet, and once they communicate about their past break-up they go full speed into a commitment to try and build something new. I enjoyed that Liam’s acceptance of his attraction to Rome wasn’t super angsty, and Rome has no hesitation in planning a future with Liam.
The Arrangement is currently available as an e-book and paperback
