Books like Start a Fire

Julia Wolf lights the match with cruelty. Start a Fire opens on bully romance and then shifts into enemies to lovers as the hate burns down to something warmer. Dark in mood, gentle on the spice. More sparks than smoke. A good choice if you want that cruel-boy dynamic without wall-to-wall explicit scenes. Read the warnings anyway.
