Only Colorado Series by J.D. Chambers

“I might not be every gay man’s wet dream, but I always get a second look.” Mal Copol knows who they are: Nonbinary. Awesome. Exhausted. They won’t change for anyone, but just once, they’d like to be the one with relationship potential, not the hookup. Also, not having to fight employers on who they are and how they present themselves would be nice... more“I might not be every gay man’s wet dream, but I always get a second look.” Mal Copol knows who they are: Nonbinary. Awesome. Exhausted. They won’t change for anyone, but just once, they’d like to be the one with relationship potential, not the hookup. Also, not having to fight employers on who they are and how they present themselves would be nice. And while they’re at it, add not getting raised eyebrows at their high heels and tasteful makeup while discussing their latest rock-climbing trip to the wish list. Is that really too much to ask? “Here I am at twenty-seven, embarking on life, version 2.0.” Parker McWilliams is breaking free from the constraints of his former life and wife. He’s recapturing his zest to try new things and experience everything to the fullest, instead of the complacency he had fallen into over the past nine years. If one of those “new experiences” happens to be with a certain beautiful and intriguing nonbinary person, well, Parker’s just going to roll with it. Anything contrary to his past life is a good thing. Mal and Parker keep surprising each other every time they meet. Despite their differences, neither has any interest in fighting their attraction. But when circumstances threaten to keep them apart, the couple must decide if that attraction is enough to overcome the obstacles they face. less

The last thing I want is to attach myself to someone in even greater need of a personalized TED talk than me." Kieran Jones is perpetually ten steps behind in life. Whether it's his best friend's advice on how-to-gay properly since he was a little late to the coming out party, another friend giving him a discount on rent so he could escape his horrible roommate situation, or his best friend's boss rescuing him when his car won't start, Kieran's life isn't just a hot mess. It's a blazing disaster. "I don't think I've been giving off greater sad sack vibes than normal, but the more time I spend around Kieran, the more I want things that I can't have." Ted Olson may not be the life of the party, but he is steadfast and dependable, and that will have to do. He's always looking out for others - his employees, his nephew, and the adorable redhead who hangs out at the store and is way too young for him. It has been almost a decade since his last serious relationship, and Ted is tired of being alone. When Kieran and Ted end up on a blind date together courtesy of a dating app, they realize a mutual attraction has been lurking behind their growing friendship. But Ted can't believe someone as young and pretty as Kieran would want a boring, old, video game store owner. And Kieran has never been with a man before and doesn't trust his own instincts. Both men will have to break free from their insecurities if they want to be what the other needs. less
