Here's "The Step-Bet." It's the first novel in the Peach State Stepbros series by Riley Hart and Devon McCormack.
["TROY
Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister’s pretty face.
He’s cocky. A troublemaker. A pain.
And, unfortunately, my stepbrother.
We’ve been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we’ve used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences.
Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas’s latest bet has gone too far.
Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis.
Not a chance.
But if he’s so confident he’s gonna win…well, my big stepbro must not know me as well as he thinks…
ATLAS
I love getting under Troy’s skin.
Mr. Former Prom King. Mr. Heartthrob. Mr. Infuriatingly Perfect. Messing with him is too easy. Too fun. Maybe that’s why I’m a little obsessed with him.
Our latest bet is the perfect way for me to test the bisexual waters, and once I dive headfirst into the deep end, I don’t want to stop.
With Troy. My stepbro.
It was supposed to be just a little fun, yet with each touch, I like him more than I should. It wasn’t supposed to go this far. Now I want Troy to be all mine.
But what we’re doing has bigger consequences than our little step bet, and when the stakes are this high, is it worth gambling our hearts when we know this is a game we both could lose?"]
I love idiots-to-lovers stories...I mean enemies-to-lovers. ;)
These two were adorably in-hate with each other, utterly obsessed with each other, sooo many Feelings just trying to one-up each other/tease each other. It was silly but fun. They both thought so.
Even if they both had a few things going on, some baggage to work through. They were able to work through it together, helping each other stand taller, helping each other feel more confident.
Telling all of their friends? Hilarious. Telling their parents? Could have gone better. Then again, that whole mess wasn't on them.
Trigger Warnings: cheating (not between MCs), addiction, death, mention of suicide, homophobia, belittling/demeaning, and more.
