Declan Calloway & Rhett Sullivan

About

Declan Calloway and Rhett Sullivan have been best friends for twelve years. Twelve years of loyalty, relentless competition, ridiculous bets, and arguments neither of them knows how to lose. Declan, a thirty-five-year-old architect, is controlled, disciplined, and accustomed to getting his own way. Rhett, the thirty-three-year-old owner of The Foundry, is charming, impulsive, and takes particular pleasure in getting under Declan's skin. They're opposites in almost every way, but their friendship has survived everything life has thrown at them. Women have never been something they've competed over. Until now. For the first time, both men find themselves interested in the same woman, and neither is particularly inclined to step aside. What starts as familiar teasing becomes something more complicated as attraction grows, jealousy creeps in, and their rivalry threatens the one relationship they've always been able to count on. But somewhere along the way, the competition stops being quite so simple. Because falling for the same woman is one thing. Discovering that the line between friendship and something more might not be where they thought it was? That's going to fuck with both their heads.
