Ripped

My life went from great to disaster in under five minutes. Connor It was just another Friday night, bringing home takeout for a cozy evening in with my boyfriend. Only to find him wearing nothing but a towel and my best friend frantically trying to put his clothes back on. It didn't take a genius to figure out what was going on.

Now I'm homeless and friendless and stumbling mindlessly through the doors of Mars Fitness, straight into Donnie's strong, comforting arms. He offers me a place to crash, then shows me how much more life can be when I have him by my side.

Donnie What was I supposed to do? Let the guy sleep on the street when I had a perfectly good guest room at home?

Letting Connor stay with me was supposed to be a temporary thing, but I never expected to feel so much around him. Attraction, joy, protectiveness—emotions I haven't felt in ages are suddenly breaking through my grief and overwhelming me.

It's been four years since my husband passed, and I've been caught in a limbo of merely existing ever since. But with Connor in my house and awakening all these feelings in me, maybe it's time I start living again.

Ripped is an age gap, nerd/jock, hurt/comfort MM romance between roommates who cuddle while watching classic movies. Expect low angst steamy shower rooms, teary confessions, disapproving family, and brand-new beginnings. It is the first book in the Mars Fitness series and can be read as a stand-alone.
