Xander Griffith was mesmerized by Julian the moment he laid eyes on him in a club; he's gorgeous, brilliant, and unabashedly himself. But when he discovers Julian is his good friend's, off-limits, baby brother, he promptly drops Julian off at his parents' house with a promise to call.

But when he discovers Julian is his good friend's, off-limits, baby brother, he promptly drops Julian off at his parents' house with a promise to call. Unfortunately, his life took a left-hand turn that night, and Xander was unable to keep that promise. When they meet again months later, they can't be in the same room without bickering like small children, and both men wonder whether the person they'd fallen for that night was an illusion. Julian Moore is at loose ends after getting his Master's: he can't start his government cybersecurity job until he gets high-level clearance, his boyfriend and best friend are far away, and even his dojo closed down. All the sparkly, snarky white-hat hacker does these days is read M/M romance novels and hang out with his brothers' friends. Of course, that means bumping into that over-privileged, condescending jerk, Xander, at every freaking turn ; the man would be completely insufferable if it wasn't for his sweet, hat-loving dog, Cassius. When Xander discovers Julian is deeply depressed, his protective instincts kick in and he puts together a plan to help his friend's brother fight his way through the murky gloom. The first step? Move the brat into his condo! It seems like the perfect solution: he certainly has plenty of room, it gets Julian out of his parents' house, his boxer is head-over-paws in love with Julian, and someone has to keep their friend's pug from destroying all of Xander's left shoes. Instead of killing each other within the first twenty-four hours as predicted, Xander and Julian's lives fit seamlessly together and both men soon realize their initial attraction may have been stronger, and deeper, than they thought. LOVE YOU, MOORE, the second book in the Moore Romance series, is a 110k-word, quirky, sweet, MM romance between two sexy, dog-loving geeks.
