Argh! I closed them quickly as the light flooding in from the window made them sting.

Panic flared in my gut, making my eyes jerk open. My whole body was dead weight, like I’d gained a hundred pounds overnight. Was someone beating on my skull? It felt like someone was beating on my skull, which was pretty rude if you asked me. The Romantic is a wake up married, opposites attract romance with tons of praise, an unforgettable massage, found family, and sweet moments on the pier. Our marriage is playing tricks on my heart because suddenly I’m wishing my happy ending can be with the husband who doesn’t think love is for him. He’s shown me I’m a sucker for praise, and lucky for me, he loves giving it to me. Better to amicably divorce later than own up to our screw up, right?Īll I’ve ever wanted is my happily ever after, and now I live with a serial hookup artist who never planned on settling down.īut then, why is Elliott so good to me? He takes me on dates, makes me laugh, and touches me like I’m someone to cherish. My parents had the perfect marriage until my mom passed, and since I’d hate for my father to discover what I did, Elliott and I decide to pretend we’re in love and stay married for six months. He doesn’t want to let them down by telling them it was a drunken mistake. We definitely aren’t supposed to wake up married…only, we do.īefore we can figure out what to do, Elliott’s family finds out. We’re not supposed to run into each other in Vegas or get drunk together. It’s definitely not Elliott Delgado Weaver, the shameless flirt who keeps asking me out.

If there’s a jerk close by, I’ll find him. The one who’s looking for love in all the wrong places. And when an old enemy returns and threatens the foundation of their new life, decisions will be made, and boundaries will be tested that could change their lives forever.When it comes to The Vers, the queer podcast I host with my best friends, I’m The Romantic. To do that, Josiah, Mateo, and Tristan must learn to get over the pasts that have defined who they are. The only way to complete their full circle is for all their pieces, despite the curves and rough edges, to fit together perfectly. But what happens if the balance shifts? What happens when someone doesn�t play the right part? If one of them falters, they all feel the strain. To keep the balance intact, they all have their roles to play. Tristan must let go of his past, must learn how to need, and what it really means to take care of someone. Mateo wants to absolve himself of his sins. All he wants is to give his men what they need. They know what they want�each other�but with three people as broken as they are, all those pieces aren't so easily mended. “Nothing in life is ever easy, and no one is more painfully aware of that than Josiah Evans, Mateo Sanchez, and Tristan Croft.
