A witty, emotional, and deliciously slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance between two costars on a popular sci-fi television series.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon and Charlie, actors on a long-running sci-fi show, can't stand one another. Charlie is impetuous, outgoing, and basically feral, and Simon thinks he should have stayed in reality television where he belongs. They've spent the better part of a decade quarreling over the spotlight and pretty much everything else, and everybody in the industry knows it. Now that Simon's contract is finally done, he can move to New York, start fresh with work he actually likes, and get away from Charlie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon's only problem is that people might assume he's been pushed off the show due to being impossible to work with. And he \u003cem\u003eis \u003c\/em\u003ekind of difficult to work with. He doesn't get along with people--unlike Charlie, who somehow tricked everyone on the show into adoring him despite some outrageously bad on-set behavior during the show's first season. Simon would rather never have to see Charlie again, but reluctantly agrees to stage a very public friendship during the short time before he moves. When Charlie has to leave town to deal with a family emergency, this means Simon comes along. Their road trip brings Simon to places he would never have willingly chosen to visit--and he finds he's actually not having a terrible time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe more he gets to know Charlie, the more Simon suspects he's underestimated his former coworker. Simon also realizes that after seven years, Charlie might know him better than anyone ever has. Even stranger, Charlie seems to be starting to actually like him, despite knowing him so well. Still, Simon is about to move three thousand miles away, so whatever's starting between him and Charlie can't really amount to anything... right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTropes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnemies to Lovers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpposites Attract\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForced Proximity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlow Burn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cat Sebastian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Avon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.31w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063429581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2025 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSebastian, Cat:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCat Sebastian\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning author of queer romance.
