Joby Carson compartmentalizes the things in his life.
In one box is his career as hotel manager for Peachtree and Kings; a high-end hotel owned by old southern money. He lives on the premises and keeping things running smoothly is his first priority.
In another box--the one he keeps hidden in the closet--is his personal life. No one knows he's gay, and that's been working out fine for him. If his boss found out, he could lose his job and his home in one fell swoop. Not to mention his family. Who knows how they'd react?
But when Joby meets Nate, he has to choose between the safety of keeping things the way they've always been and coming out in order to live the life he's always secretly wanted with the man he loves.
Will Joby decide before his fears push Nate away forever?

Kinda Complicated
Ash Mercer has built a reputation as the tough, untouchable guy who keeps his distance from everyone, but a rainy night outside a formal party changes everything when he meets Micah Hayes - a clumsy, soft-spoken outsider who seems to stumble through life with an open heart. What begins as a chance encounter grows into a series of unexpected meetings in cafés, on late-night walks, and in the quiet corners of the city, where sarcasm and shyness slowly turn into playful banter, trust, and something neither of them expected. As their bond deepens, both are forced to confront feelings they don't quite know how to name: Ash, terrified of being vulnerable, and Micah, unsure if someone like him could ever be truly loved. Through misunderstandings, laughter, and the ache of almost losing each other, they discover that love can be messy, tender, and worth every risk. Their story unfolds as a bittersweet yet heartwarming slow burn - two imperfect young men learning that sometimes the person who catches you when you fall is exactly the one you were meant to find.![Echoes of A Summer Love [MxM]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403034035-256-k392156.jpg)
