Resolution
Delaney Duo, book 1
Resolution: Lose my virginity.
Sebastion’s shyness has been holding him back from losing his virginity, despite it being his New Year’s resolution several years in a row. He is starting to give up hope that he’ll ever lose it, when he finds himself spending a week alone in a mountain cabin with his best friend’s dad. Could Devon be the person he’s been waiting for?
Resolution: Allow myself to be happy again.
Devon has spent years struggling to move on after his husband’s death. He doesn’t expect the first person he’s interested in to be his son’s best friend, but when the adorable, awkward young man turns up unannounced at his cabin, sparks fly, and Devon has to decide whether finally moving on is worth potentially hurting his son.
Resolution is a 19K word MM romance which has a secluded cabin in the mountains, snowball fights, and important New Year’s resolutions. This is the first of two books in the Delaney Duo series. It can be read as a standalone, but it's more fun to read them in order.
Realization
Delaney Duo, book 2
Realization: I can’t keep pretending everything is fine.
Dylan isn’t as happy as he wants everyone to believe he is. He moved across the country for what he thought was his dream job, leaving his dad and best friend behind, but soon realizes the job doesn’t outweigh his desire to go back home. Encouraged by his best friend, as a way of meeting new people, he organizes a blind date for Valentine’s Day with a guy he met online. The last thing he expects is for his blind date to be his dad’s best friend.
Realization: I want the one thing I was sure I’d never want.
Russell has spent a long time pretending he’s not getting older, and acting like he’s still in his twenties. Now, in the latter half of his forties, and notoriously anti-relationship, he’s realizing he might want more than just one-night stands. A secret, long-distance relationship with his best friend’s son was not part of his plan though. Will the sneaking around and lying destroy his twenty-year-long friendship?
Realization is a 28K word MM romance which has Dad’s best friend/best friend’s son, steamy phone sex, and an awkward family dinner. This is the second of two books in the Delaney Duo series. It can be read as a standalone, but it’s more fun to read them in order.
