HOLD ME LIKE A GRUDGE ♥
When a fierce rivalry between two professional wrestlers grows increasingly heated, neither man can fight the attraction burning between them, in this dazzling debut romance.
“Much like professional wrestling itself, Celine Ong’s Hold Me Like a Grudge brings the sweat, the drama, and the FUN. I had a blast with this book!”—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings
“Hold Me Like a Grudge is a total knockout. Asher and Caleb’s soft love, big secrets, and explosive chemistry create a romance to remember, and the endearing cast of characters brings their world to life. Come for the wrestling and spice or for the healing and queer revolution; either way, Celine Ong’s debut is not to be missed.”
—Jen St. Jude, author of If Tomorrow Doesn’t Come
Hi! I’m Cel!
Born in sweltering Singapore, Celine (she/they) was raised in mosh pits, and writes queer romance novels about chaos gremlins with bad manners, weird feelings, and big hearts.
When not writing, Celine pens reflections on Bookstagram and has approximately two life crises per month. Their proudest accomplishment is being able to—completely unprovoked—quote the entirety of Venom: Let There Be Carnage by heart.
HOLD ME LIKE A GRUDGE, an adult queer sports romance, is her debut novel. LOSER NEW YEAR comes out in 2027.
Celine is represented by Brent Taylor at Triada US Literary Agency.
P.S. Contrary to what their friends will tell you, chaotic ≠ horny, thanks!
P.P.S. At this point, her mother feels it is important to warn you that Celine is deeply underwhelming in person.
