Nothing Like Forever (Finding Forever #2)

Theirs should have been the swooniest of love-at-first sight stories, but from the beginning, nothing about Micah and Jake resembled a fairy tale.

Friendship, relationship, whatever-the-hell-ship, Micah is certain of only three things. One, their connection is unlike any he’s had with anyone else. Two, Jake is not his boyfriend. Because the one time he used that word, Jake broke his heart. And three, no matter how far the distance, however long the silences, Jake will always be there for him.

Ever since Jake’s college days, he has stuck to iron-clad rules about hook-ups. No overnights. No repeats. No exceptions. Micah is the only one who’s made him break those rules, an anomaly he finds endlessly intriguing and frustrating. No matter how often they trip over each other’s boundaries, Jake can’t deny something always brings them back together. And it isn’t just that Micah is the sexiest, most passionate man he’s ever met.

It’s something buried deeper—and that scares the hell out of him.

Note: More than friends with benefits but less than partners, Micah and Jake figure it out on a twenty-year journey chronicled in Nothing Like Forever. It’s a slow-burn soulmates story with an unconventional, on-again-off-again relationship, pining from afar and up close, consensual non-monogamy (off page), hot reconnection sex (on page), aromantic awakening, and a unique HEA. Also, drag shows.
