Clever Eli by Hinsel Meyer

SECRETS, LOVE, AND POWER ARE A DANGEROUS COMBINATION.

Eli
Between secret missions to take down criminals and getting my cybersecurity company off the ground, I should be too busy to pine for my stepbrother, but that’s never stopped me before.
When Lex invites me to one of his games out of the blue, after years of keeping his distance, I immediately agree.
It doesn’t matter that I’ll always be keeping secrets from him or if he never loves me like I love him, it won’t stop me from being there when he needs me.

Lex
There has never been anyone else for me—it’s always been Eli.
But my team is a sh!t show, I’m on the brink of starting to hate the one thing I always thought I’d love—hockey—and the only thing I’ve got going for me is how much the fans root for me.
If it gets out that I’m in love with my stepbrother, that could be the last straw.
I believe our time will come, but it’s not the right time yet. The problem is that I don’t know how much longer I can keep resisting Eli.

How can two famous step brothers who live in the spotlight make it work when there are dark, dangerous, and painful secrets between them?
Their road to a happily ever after is riddled with obstacles and they’ll only get through if they choose, once and for all, to fight for each other.

Clever Eli is book #2 in The Turris series which has an overarching plot that starts in book #1, even though each book focuses on a different couple. (It’s a spin off from the Fan Service series and the All It Takes series, but you don’t need to have read them to enjoy this series.) The love story between Eli and Lex ends with an HEA but the suspense plot will continue in the next book.
