The wounded soldier at the end of Willow Street. Intimidating. Devastatingly handsome. Muscular body chiseled from stone. Deep dark eyes that dare you to come near. Attitude for days. And I just became his caregiver. Everyone warned me to stay away from him - including my father, the respected minister of our small town of Spruce. But clearly I'm too stubborn to heed good advice, especially when Cody Davis is as frustratingly attractive - and persistent - as they come. As the preacher's son, I have strict morals I must live by. But each day spent with that aggravating hunk makes me question them. My safe and fragile world is turning upside-down, and I'm not sure I have the strength to stop it. And even worse: I'm not sure I want to. Temptation this bad never looked so good. This soldier is gonna make a sinner out of me. * This is a standalone male/male romance set in the same fictional small town as "Football Sundae". Steam, humor, and a whole lot of southern sass guaranteed. * less

Jimmy Strong is one devastating son of a gun. He’s gorgeous, stubborn, a dancer, fiercely protective of his loved ones (to a fault), and intense. He can steal your heart with his infectious laughter ... and break it with a single glance of his stunning, rich brown eyes. I ought to know. He breaks mine every day. Being his gay best friend and college roomie is, to say the least, frustrating... moreJimmy Strong is one devastating son of a gun. He’s gorgeous, stubborn, a dancer, fiercely protective of his loved ones (to a fault), and intense. He can steal your heart with his infectious laughter ... and break it with a single glance of his stunning, rich brown eyes. I ought to know. He breaks mine every day. Being his gay best friend and college roomie is, to say the least, frustrating. Especially when you’ve seen just about every inch of that corn-fed beauty, he’s worked his way into every fantasy you can remember having, and he’s as straight as they make them. We’re heading back to Spruce for the summer. He just broke things off with his latest lady-squeeze, which means I have Jimmy all to myself for three long months of relaxation, bro-time, and kicking back. Until one night alone with Jimmy - and a reckless, unthinkable move - that changes everything. *** This is a southern male/male romance set in the same fictional small town as "Football Sundae" and "Born Again Sinner". Though this book takes place immediately after the events of "Born Again Sinner", it can be read entirely on its own. Photographer: Golden Czermak less
