Wishes for August (Guarded Hearts #1)
C.S. Autumn

My dad left and my mum turned her back on me when I was just a kid. Since then, I've been alone. For years I wished things were different, but time and experience taught me that wishing for a better life was foolish. I told myself love wasn't for me. I'd watched it crush my mum and I wouldn't let it do the same to me. I'd never take the risk.
Until him.
Caleb
I had my life planned out - work hard to get the job of my dreams, and find someone to share my life with. Though I’d dated before, I had yet to find someone that I had the kind of connection I hoped for. The kind of love I saw my parents share. Until I walked into my new role and met him. With brown eyes that drew me in and a wicked grin that promised endless amounts of pleasure - I felt that connection I’d always hoped for. But his heart was off the table. And that's the part I wanted the most.
Wishes for August is a M/M romance featuring a grumpy marketing exec and his sunshine boss. Featuring a friends with benefits arrangement, lots of steam, medium angst and a guaranteed HEA.
