Darren Wheeler is a gorgeous, arrogant, unapologetically slutty bartender, with a heart far bigger than he’ll admit to anyone, and the wit to match. Jake Callahan has been a Trailhead regular for the past eight years, and he's stoic, successful, and the smartest in almost any room. Darren’s written off the marriage he sabotaged, and he’s happy hooking up with strangers wherever he can find them. Jake buried the love of his life long ago, and he’s content to entertain himself with all the meaningful indulgences he can afford, from his Harleys to his home.
With nearly two decades and vastly different histories between them, it's a shared love of Trailhead’s trivia night that makes them realize how much they have in common. Each week has given them a chance to get to know each other better, and when an unexpected accident leads to a confession that brings one of them to his knees, the spark between them is undeniable. They're already on their way to becoming better friends, so as long as they’re also attracted to each other, why stop at a few flirty conversations? Neither of them is looking for a relationship, but what if there are no strings attached? After all the love they've left behind, they definitely won’t fall for each other…right?
***This explicit MM romance is a continuation of the Trailhead series. While each book features a different romantic relationship, reading them in order is the best way to enjoy the ongoing plot and character development.
