Simon Love is maybe a bit of a dick. He's smart, but he's lazy, and he doesn't know how to live without his mom's meatloaf and at least 4 different investment accounts. After graduating from college, he can't bring himself to leave the comfort of his hometown, so when the newest tech giant, TechNet, plants its HQ roots in his very own Baker, Ohio, Simon knows this must be fate. And when TechNet brings in a local architect to draw up plans to spruce up the building, Simon can't help but notice his construction crew. More specifically, the tall twenty-something wearing a canvas tool belt, a beat-up Sox hat, and a small, heart-stopping smile that has the entire office talking. And it seems like Simon is the only one who doesn't know why.

Miller Spencer knows that it's normal to love your best friend. Ace has been his best friend since forever. So, of course, it's completely natural to want to kiss him. It is typical to get jealous when you see him with someone else. It is absolutely ordinary that you may or may not have certain fantasies that aren't civilized enough to be told out loud. It is simply impossible that Miller would make the grave mistake of falling for his best friend in the all too familiar and cliche trope. Or maybe, Ace is trouble and Miller is falling for him. (TW: mild to moderate.)

The first thing I noticed was the moans: soft sounds of love, and then skin slapping against skin. "Cut!" someone yelled, and the cameras stopped. Callum is thrown into a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as he walks in on a compromising scene, to put it mildly, between his best friend and another guy. What Callum thought he knew about Ayden is obviously not enough--maybe not even enough to continue the friendship they had both treasured for years. But, what started out as a conflict and transformed into a collision may have been the best thing that ever happened to their failing relationship. - This will be a tale about jealousy and tainted love, wrecked hearts and tender hope. These characters will be flawed so don't expect perfect gentlemen with careful words. Please note that this novel is not finished in terms of content editing.
