Instant Desire (Crush #2)
Elouise East

Asher Danvers is a childminder, trying to do the best for his niece, Janie, who he has looked after since his sister died three years ago. He enlists an architect to help with extending his house to help his business and personal life. He didn’t expect to feel such a pull towards the guy, especially as he had sworn off men until Janie was older since his last failed relationship. Fate apparently doesn’t listen.
Sean Edwards lost his parents in a car accident four years ago. That was when he also lost his enthusiasm for social interactions, regardless of the need for it within the job he does. He loves his job as an architect. Except for this new job. It comes with an added complication called Asher. Nowhere near ready to have someone walk away from him who he could potentially love, he distances himself. He can’t help it though. Something keeps drawing him back into the circle of Asher’s arms.
As their feelings grow, Sean becomes more and more scared and Asher gets dealt a blow he’s not sure his heart can come back from.
