Too Hard: Hayes Brothers Book 5

About this book

Cody Hayes and Blair Fitzpatrick share a history defined by mutual animosity. When Blair moves into the apartment directly across the hall from Cody, they both expect the status quo of their long-standing grudge to continue. Cody intends to ignore her completely, while Blair is simply counting down the days until she can escape her current life and start over. However, proximity proves to be a dangerous catalyst for change. As the two are forced into daily contact, the icy walls between them begin to crumble. Cody discovers that the girl he thought he knew is actually grappling with hidden pain, and his desire to keep his distance is quickly replaced by an instinct to protect her. What begins as a volatile, hate-filled dynamic shifts into something far more complicated—and intimate—when a moment of vulnerability leads to a secret, scorching connection. Featuring the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, *Too Hard* explores the razor-thin margin between intense resentment and undeniable attraction. As Cody and Blair navigate their newfound chemistry, they must decide if the past is worth holding onto or if they are finally ready to embrace the unpredictable future they never saw coming.
