The Man at the Men’s Retreat: An Erotic, Emotional M/M Age Gap Romance About Finding Desire in the Woods (His First MM Romance #9)
Knox Barrington
But after a breakup and years of denying what he wants, Jonas signs up for a no-distractions men’s retreat in the deep Oregon woods. He’s expecting silence. Maybe clarity. He isn’t expecting Mason—the fifty-four-year-old camp guide with a body built for chopping wood and a voice that makes Jonas hard just hearing it across the fire.
Mason is calm. Capable. Completely in control. And when he steps behind Jonas to teach him how to hold the axe, everything changes.
Jonas doesn’t know if this is a crush, a fantasy, or the beginning of something real—but he knows he wants Mason’s hands on him again. Wants his mouth. His weight. His voice whispering his name in the dark.
One touch, and Jonas is aching. One kiss, and he’s undone. One night... and there’s no turning back.
A slow-burn, gay, age-gap, romance with first-time heat, intense chemistry, raw confessions, and a love that builds as hard as it explodes.

“One of the most sensual, emotionally real first-time M/M stories I’ve ever read. The firewood wasn’t the only thing getting split. Jonas and Mason will make your chest ache and your thighs clench with every hesitant look and lingering touch.”

“Barrington’s gift is turning desire into poetry and sex into revelation. Jonas and Mason burned slow, and then scorched. Every kiss felt earned, every climax hit deep. This isn’t just erotica... it’s storytelling with heart, hunger, and heat.”
