Unraveled (MxM)

Elliot Carter never loses. Not to his father. Not to anyone. And definitely not to the infuriating 'golden' boy who suddenly moves into his house. When Elliot's father marries Asher Brooks' mother, his already broken world cracks even more. Asher is everything he despises-calm, disciplined, admired by everyone at university. The kind of guy who smiles like he has nothing to prove. From the moment they meet, it's war. Elliot thrives on pushing buttons. Asher refuses to be provoked. Their fights are sharp, personal, and relentless, until one night, anger turns physical... and something far more dangerous ignites between them. A line is crossed that neither of them can uncross. Asher refuses to feel guilty. Elliot refuses to admit he wanted it. Now they're trapped under the same roof, and the more they try to hate each other, the more dangerous the attraction becomes. Because this isn't just rivalry. It's obsession. And when control becomes the weapon of choice, someone is bound to break. The only question is... Who will break first?

What starts as a power struggle becomes a secret neither of them is willing to name. Because Asher doesn't regret what happened. And Elliot hates that he doesn't either. At school, they glare across crowded hallways like enemies. At home, the tension between them grows heavier, hotter, impossible to ignore. Pride keeps them apart. Desire drags them back together. But when jealousy, family pressure, and buried wounds threaten to expose everything, Elliot and Asher will have to decide: Are they destroying each other? Or are they the only ones who truly see the cracks beneath the surface? In a house built on second chances, love might be the most dangerous risk of all.
