Theo Knox has never met a boundary he couldn’t push. As the college hockey team’s enforcer, Theo lives for the fight.
Penalty minutes, broken noses, and getting under people’s skin are practically hobbies.
So when his captain’s uptight little brother starts looking at him like he’s public enemy number one, Theo can’t resist making him his newest challenge.
Connor has spent his whole life in control. Control keeps everything quiet. Predictable. Safe.
Then Theo barges into his life with his cocky grin, relentless teasing, and an irritating habit of getting far too close.
The more Connor tries to keep his distance, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the man determined to get beneath his skin.
Because Theo isn’t just pushing Connor’s patience anymore. He’s pushing him to question everything he thought he knew about himself. But Theo is his brother’s best friend. They’re complete opposites.
And some lines should never be crossed.
The problem is… The closer they get, the harder it becomes to remember why those lines were there in the first place.
Make Me Mean It is a slow-burn M/M college hockey romance featuring enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend, forced proximity, forbidden attraction, sexuality awakening, endless tension, found family, and a hard-earned happily ever after.
