The Bro Arrangement by Charli Meadows

Tate
Keep it casual, keep it fun, and most importantly, no strings attached. These are the rules I’ve lived by when it comes to hooking up, and let’s just say straight boys are my specialty. If I’m nothing more than an experiment, then there’s no chance I’ll get hurt.
The next curious boy to fall into my bed is none other than Spencer Hayes, finance bro and my best friend’s roommate. There’s no denying our chemistry is off the charts, and the constant flirting has felt like a year-long edging. It was seriously overdue. But one time isn’t enough, so we make an arrangement. Follow my rules this summer, and nothing is off-limits as long as we both consent.
If things get too intense and emotions become involved, I’m ready to jump ship because no one’s breaking through the walls surrounding my heart. I don’t do serious. Ever.

Spencer
My path in life has been paved for me, with no room for detours. Go to college, get a degree in finance, and follow in my dad’s footsteps with a boring office job, wife, and kids. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy crunching numbers, but I’ve always had bigger plans for myself than the family accounting firm. And I’ve always been curious about what it’s like to be with a man. I’ve just never taken it that far. Until Tate Sinclair. With his blond curls, painted nails, and that sexy, smart mouth.
Tension has been building between us for months, and when we finally give in and go back to my place after a wild party, it’s truly explosive.
I knew hooking up with Tate would be risky, but I didn’t know it would flip my world upside down and leave me craving more than just a physical connection. The more nonchalant he acts, the deeper the wound in my chest becomes, until I have no choice but to tell him how I feel. I’ve completely fallen for him, and I want more than some shallow arrangement. I want his heart and soul.
