The Weight of Wanting: A Cass and Reed Story
C. Rosewood
Not the real kind. Not the kind that steadies your hands when they shake, kisses your scars like they’re sacred, and calls you good boy like it means something.
Then he met Reed Whitaker—older, steadier, and completely irresistible.
The Weight of Wanting is a slow-burning M/M romance filled with soft dominance, emotional healing, and the quiet kind of intimacy that unravels you—gently.
Cass Collins never thought love was for him.
Not the real kind. Not the kind that holds you close and stays. With a past full of scars and a heart that’s too soft for this world, he’s just trying to survive one quiet day at a time.
Reed Whitaker wasn’t looking for someone to save.
But when he sees Cass in the back of a bookstore, something unspoken pulls him in—a quiet gravity he can’t resist. Reed knows what it means to carry grief. He knows how to steady someone without making them smaller.
What begins with a warm drink and a hesitant smile soon grows into something tender, healing… and real.
But Cass has never been anyone’s “good boy” before. And Reed? He’s not sure he’s ready to open his heart again.
The Weight of Wanting is a soft, slow-burning M/M romance about healing, trust, and finding a place to belong—in someone’s arms, and in the quiet of your own heart.
