Nobody's Lonely Tonight
(2027)(The first book in the Bears of Driftwood Cove series)
A novel by Ryder O'Malley
Coastal small towns, questionable straightness, grieving blacksmith, and an outsider searching for home.
The lighthouse is being sold and I'm here for the summer to inventory the keep. Three days in, my girlfriend calls to say she's leaving me for my best friend. She waited until I was three hundred miles away, which is fair. Being present isn't my strong suit.
At least this town has a bar with plenty of whisky. A burly man with biceps as thick as my neck sidles up on the next barstool. At the Rusty Anchor, nobody drinks alone. I'm drinking to forget, but I suspect he's drinking to remember. Who? I don't know.
I half carry him to his door. The night ends with a kiss. My first from a man. I'm flattered. Thankfully, we pretend it never happened. But when the lighthouse needs work, he's the only man in town with the skills to fix it. There's an ease to our friendship I haven't experienced before and I'm left wondering... what's one more kiss?
I'm straight. He's a widower. Neither of us is supposed to want this. The ghosts of our past sit between us, and neither of us knows how to put them to rest. But if this is something I want, I'm going to need to break a lifelong cycle of walking away. I'm scared what will happen if I do. I'm more scared of what will happen if I don't.
Nobody's Lonely Tonight is a M/M, heartfelt romance novel with an HEA and no cliffhangers. Be prepared for a coastal small town, men being vulnerable, found family, and two men discovering their love language.
Genre: Gay Romance
