You're the Problem, It's You: A Novel

Bobby Mason has always chafed against his status as the spare. While his peers coast on inherited wealth and title, he is desperate to prove his worth and make a tangible impact on a world that refuses to take him seriously. His primary target for frustration? The newly minted Viscount Demeroven—a man Bobby finds insufferably pompous, fragile, and entirely too easy to provoke. For James Demeroven, life has been a silent exercise in keeping his head down. Having survived a stifling upbringing, he views his new role as a burden rather than a privilege. To James, the audacious and reckless Bobby is a dangerous disruption; he is all the things James wishes he could be, yet remains a constant reminder of everything James isn’t. Their shared history, rooted in a faint but lingering college longing, only makes the current friction between them more combustible. Trapped in a cycle of heated arguments and undeniable resentment, the two men want nothing more than to stay as far apart as possible. Unfortunately, their fiercely meddling and well-meaning cousins are determined to play matchmaker. As they are repeatedly thrust into each other's orbit, Bobby and James must decide if their mutual animosity is a shield—or the very thing bringing them together.
