M/M Romance | Healing After Abuse | Slow Burn
Jack keeps his head down-fixing cars, avoiding trouble, and staying far away from the ghosts of his past. But when a visit to his estranged son leads him to someone unexpected, everything changes.
Eli is quiet, guarded, and far too young to carry so much weight behind his eyes. Jack isn't looking to get involved. But something about Eli makes it impossible to walk away.
What begins as a rescue becomes something far more complicated... and far more dangerous.

Warner Park (SAMPLE)
Lights, secrets, and second chances. A slow burn MM romance set in the heart of Los Angeles. Andrew // Starting over in Los Angeles wasn't supposed to be easy, but I didn't expect it to feel this lonely either. I left everything behind in Alaska to build something real-a yoga studio, a fresh start, maybe even a version of myself I can finally like. Then I meet Vincent Vickers. He's charming, quick-witted, and hiding more than he lets on. I tell myself it's just a job, just a temporary connection. But the longer I'm around him, the harder it is to remember what I'm running from. Or why I ever thought I could keep my heart out of it. Vince // I know how to play the part. Smile for the cameras, hit my marks, pretend everything's fine. But when Andrew walks into my life, quiet and sincere and nothing like the chaos I'm used to, the script starts to fall apart. He sees through the performance, straight into the parts of me I've kept off-screen. And for the first time, I start to wonder if real love could be more than just another scene in my life. 📖 Part of the Warner Park Collection The Bad Idea is part of the Warner Park Collection, a set of interconnected romances set in Los Angeles.

Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean.

The Wright Way
Ethan Wright knows what's right and what's wrong. Homosexuality is wrong to him, but then, given the background he's coming (or, more precisely, running) from, he could hardly have formed a different opinion. He doesn't allow it to affect his actions, though. He is a firefighter, and he saves lives no matter how people choose to live them. There's just that one guy that he can't quite get out of his head. The guy that circumstances keep putting in his way. The guy that makes him feel... he's not sure, how. There's not much time for him to figure that out, for his past is about to catch up with him, putting more than just his life in danger, forcing him to face uncomfortable truths and make life-changing decisions. #1 in BXB on 2022-10-01 #2 in MANXMAN on 2022-10-01 *** WARNINGS: The story contains mature themes and language.
