Because sometimes it takes some distance to finally see what’s
right in front of you…
Tyler
Mitchell has worked hard to rebuild his life after his family kicked him out. A
culinary student and sous chef who spends his spare time volunteering with
kids, he’s happy enough even though he has no time to consider a relationship.
Trevor Pratt
is finally getting over losing his best friend and the one person he wanted to
spend the rest of his life with, but it’s taken screwing every cute guy in
Manhattan to get there. He’s vowed to repair the friendship he endangered, but
that’s hard to do when his friend’s new employee catches his eye. Despite being
warned to stay away from Tyler, Trevor knows the sous chef is more than just a
hookup.
Romance is a terrible idea. Trevor is ten years older and
a relentless playboy. Tyler is still unsure of his place in the world. Neither
of them is ready for life-changing love, but as things heat up, their chemistry
in the bedroom might just take that decision out of their hands.

EXCERPT:
I threw him a dirty look over my shoulder as we walked out
of the diner. “Okay. So I might have had my dad’s Platinum AmEx card to help me
out, but I struggled just like the rest of my classmates.”
Tyler’s low, deep laugh hit me in all the right, and wrong,
places. “Poor baby. I’m sure it was hard to choose between the double shot
extra whip latte and the regular Joe Blow latte.”
God, it was good to hear him laugh. “Hey now. Leave my
double shot latte out of this,” I shot back as I unlocked the doors to the
Mercedes coupe I’d rented.
His laughter slowly faded as I pulled out of the parking
lot. I had only been to Ethan’s old place a few times when Jamie had first
moved back to Seattle and before they had bought a new condo together. But
Tyler made sure to keep me on the right track with directions, his voice
getting softer and softer the closer we got to the apartment.
I pulled up to the curb, letting the car idle instead of
parking and walking him to his door. As much as I found myself not wanting the
night to end, it wouldn’t have been smart to push whatever this was. Anyone
else? We’d already be upstairs with Tyler’s pants around his ankles and my
mouth on him. But he wasn’t just anyone else.
Tyler, who had been staring out his window, slowly turned
toward me. The soft lights of the dash barely illuminated his face. God, he
looked young, innocent and worth every ounce of protectiveness he brought out
in the people who cared about him.
“Thanks for the ride. And dinner. It was nice.”
He turned again and reached for the door handle.
“Hey,
Tyler. Wait up.”
