Horribly Harry

Bad Boyfriends, Inc—when you can't find a good boyfriend, why not hire a bad one instead? To supplement his income while he's completing his Early Education degree, Harry Townsend hires himself out as a terrible date—for a set fee, he'll horrify parents and family members in all sorts of interesting ways. But when it comes to actual relationships—and sex—Harry doesn't get the appeal. He doesn't get the same tingly feelings everyone else seems to when they meet someone attractive. And he's fine with that. Jack Windsor abandoned his university degree to do an apprenticeship as a mechanic. He's happy with his choices, but leaving uni meant losing his accommodation, and now he's crashing on his sister Mia's couch. It isn't ideal, but it's only until he finds something else—which is proving difficult in Sydney's brutal rental market. When Jack recognises Harry from his sister's terrible date, he almost kills him with a strawberry smoothie. In the aftermath he discovers that not only was Harry's bad date with Mia a setup, but that Harry is looking for a roommate. Moving in with Harry is great, if only he wasn't so distractingly cute—and totally uninterested in Jack. Except as they grow closer, for the first time ever Harry starts to develop feelings—tingly ones. But how can Harry and Jack be together when Jack's family thinks that Harry is the worst human being in the universe?
