Austin

I used to play a cute little kid on a TV show. It made me famous. It also made me one of the biggest teen idols of all time. I couldn't go anywhere without girls screaming my name. Now I'm a has-been, struggling just to get a bit part. My solution? Numbing myself with substances and meaningless sex while I wait for Hollywood to take me seriously again.

When I finally get an offer, there's a catch: I have to spend six weeks in rehab.

I let my best friend and my parents talk me into it, but nothing prepares me for who I find there.

Harvey Laden.

The arrogant, spoiled son of a rock legend. Fame was handed to him while I had to work for every ounce of mine. We have a history that typically involved my fists connecting with his face and vice versa. And now I'm supposed to live with him? Eat with him? Work on a project with him?

It should be a nightmare.

So why does it feel like something raw, dangerous, and impossible is sparking between us?

Harvey

Being the son of a rock star isn't all it's cracked up to be. It gave me a level of fame I never deserved. I released albums, filled the pages of magazines, and coasted on a "talent" I didn't have. Now I'm just a disaster. Fights, hookups, arrests, and a court order that sends me to a rehab in the middle of nowhere.

Fine. I probably need it.

What I don't need is Austin Rivers showing up.

We used to be side-by-side in the same magazines. He was The Boy Next Door, and I was The Bad Boy. Turns out, Mr. Hollywood isn't so wholesome after all. I should know. We've thrown punches more times than I can count-except for one night that I'm sure we both want to forget.

Being stuck here with him for weeks should be torture.

So why does it feel like what's happening between us is the kind of addiction that a stint in rehab can't cure?
