Boiling Point

Ricky: ¿My double life is crumbling around me. Denying who I am isn't fair on anyone: the girls I tried so hard to date, the guys I'm too afraid to flirt with, or my family who don't know the truth. I'm afraid of coming out to my mom-but if I don't, I'll remain in fear that she'll find out from someone else. I'm torn between expectation and truth, and I'm not sure I can keep hiding behind a cocky grin. I'm not ready for the gorgeous guy who challenges me in my own diner. His every word turns me on, and I'm drawn to him like a moth to flame, but if I get so close that anyone finds out, we're both going to end up burned. Cedar: I'm too clumsy to hold onto anything good. Everything I touch breaks, and now I'm dependent on my ex's good graces. He runs our urban gardening charity, and his dad pays my rent. I do the dirty work, which is all I'm good for: I dig holes and plant seeds. Standing up for myself feels impossible, so I start easy. At least, it was supposed to be. The cocky cook who couldn't crisp up my bacon sure crisped up my sausage. Everyone knows closeted guys are a risk, and I'm great at scaring people away. But Ricky gives me the strength to be me, and I can't stop falling for him. Not even chipped Brooklyn sidewalks can stop true love blooming. Boiling Point is book three in the Brooklyn Boys series, where good men find their happily ever afters in a hectic metropolis. It has an HEA and no cliffhanger. There will be awkward first times, cops at the door, hiding in thrift store racks, a trouble-making bouquet, a mama's boy coming home, and an uncontrolled flame.
