When Brian “Brin” Schubert’s condo floods, he takes his co-worker up on the offer to stay on his crappy futon for a while. The last thing he expects is for his friend’s roommate to be the one guy he despises the most. The same guy who stomped on his heart senior year of high school. And by the looks of the girl on his arm, the same man who’s still deep inside the closet.
Nicholas Dell never predicted that eleven years later, one of his greatest regrets would show up on his doorstep down on his luck. Nick has made some terrible mistakes—story of his life—and he’s been paying for them ever since. And if the guilt and shame aren’t enough, his first crush had to turn into one of the sexiest men he’s ever laid eyes on.
Nick and Brin have weeks to steer clear of each other. Weeks to avoid strangling each other. But when stubbornness leads to skyrocketing sexual tension, hate-sex doesn’t seem like such an awful way to work through their frustration. Except hate is a powerful emotion, especially when it’s turned inward. And in Nick’s case he’s been drowning in a sea of self-loathing for so long, he can’t see his way out.
As Brin reconnects with Nick, his perception of what really happened in their past begins to change. He’s finally ready to forgive him and take a second chance on the one guy who stirs him like no other. But Nick’s demons are complicated, heart-wrenching…demanding. So devastating, he might never allow himself true happiness—even with the one man who’s always owned his heart.
“Because you’re my second-biggest regret, I wish I could go back, have a second chance to do things differently, but life doesn’t work that way.”

If there's any biggest regret in Nick's life that would be Zoey...and Brian...
Carrying a burden from the past had put Nick's into never ending guilt. Nights with nightmares and panic attacks caused by the memories from the past had been haunted him for years.
I was like a ghost in a world of humans, constantly trying to stay in the moment.
There's a time, when he finally found the ray of sunshine that lights his darkness life...but at the end, that guilty feelings always drawn him back to the feels that he didn't deserve to be happy and loved for what happened in his past...
Brin was his second biggest regret in his life...
And he owed him an unsaid apologize...
Fate then made them meet again in strange way...
Both Nick and Brin struggling to keep the distance between them, but they cannot control what they feels for each other inside. The hate-love that growing between the two totally unbearable to denied and trying to put no feeling in this situation was an impossible things to do.
Burn by passion and the love that still linger in their heart after all these years, will these two surrender to the fate?
I like this story to the level 'so much'. The love and hate that grew between Nick and Brin is something that cannot be missed. I hate some part that happened in this book, but at another part, my heart broke for these two...
There's nothing that will burden you than a regret, and the author portrayed the feels perfectly.
RECOMMENDED!
