Lex can't stand Theo. Theo thinks Lex is a dick. Except one dating app mishap is about to bring them so much closer together. Theo I've dated every shade of shitty guy imaginable, yet I keep boyfriending them. Mostly because my empty house doesn't align with the happily-ever-after fantasies I've had since I was a kid. No more. After my last boyfriend cheated on me, I'm flings only, even if temptation dangles my way. And when Lex shows up to fix my wiring issue, he's pure temptation--at least until he decides to randomly hate my guts. Luckily, the sexy guy I'm talking to on the CoffeeDates app is the perfect chance for a one-night stand--no drama, no betrayal, and most importantly, no boyfriending. Lex I avoid rich assholes at all costs. One broken engagement later, I learned they'll never stick around for blue collar guys like me. Even though Theo flips my switches, the holier-than-thou upper-class attitude is enough that I'm keeping my distance. Until I find out the guy I've been falling hard for over the dating app is none other than Theo. All that chemistry between us explodes, and one night turns into another and then another. But he's not looking for a boyfriend, and I am--and there's only so long this can last before one of us ends up brokenhearted. Hot Conduit is a high heat, low angst M/M enemies to lovers romance with goat yoga, edging, and far too much snark that reads as a standalone.
