Love Equations

I never thought I'd go to college a virgin, but unless something changes-and fast-that's what's going to happen. In comes Harden Hart, my all-American boy-next-door best friend with an offer to help in a way I'd never imagined. The boy, who turned everything he touched to gold, had a filthy side to him I'd never seen. Oh, and did I mention he's straight? We could keep this fun, but we had to hide it from both our fathers. We could smile for the cameras, focus on winning the state swimming championship and maintain Harden's image. Easy enough, right? Only Harden didn't want to hide. His addiction to our not-so-private hook-ups put everything at risk with his father's planned presidential run, and I risked losing my best friend if anyone found out. But the biggest risk of all: the risk of breaking my own heart by falling for someone who was never mine to begin with. Maybe love just isn't in the equation.

Have you ever loathed a person so intensely the sight of them made you contemplate homicide? First day of college, everyone is settling into their rooms, and in walks Jeff Woods-the blond bastard. He's arrogant, smart and an elite swimmer. Worst of all, everyone loves him. Only, he's also insufferable, flirty, and a sex god. He pushes every button I never knew I had-all with an air of indifference-like he doesn't know the effect it has on me. Did I mention he's the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on? I'm just some closeted red-neck from the south who's more comfortable on a horse and in a pair of boots than trying to figure life at one of the most elite universities in the world. There's no way a guy like him would ever look at me twice. Hate is the only equation. The Animosity Equation is a standalone enemies-to-lovers roommates romance, with forced proximity, a wild ride of teasing lust, and so much more.
