A roommate deal with romantic complications

Newly divorced and short on money, forty-year-old Payne returns to his hometown and accepts a room from Beau, his younger brother’s best friend. Their arrangement has practical terms: Payne contributes meals, repairs, and jokes, while Beau asks for help becoming more appealing to potential dates. The complication is that Beau has wanted to date Payne for years, while Payne is increasingly distracted by his new housemate. The setup brings financial necessity and domestic cooperation into the same space as unspoken attraction, giving the romance a clear source of tension: the men are trying to make one another’s lives work while navigating what they want from each other.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in gay romance centered on housemates and domestic arrangements.
  • Those who enjoy romances involving a return to one’s hometown after a major life change.
  • Readers looking for a relationship premise built around helping each other with practical and dating-related challenges.

Book overview

Payne:

In search of: room to rent.

Must ignore the patheticness of a forty-year-old roommate.

Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent).

There's nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is.

When my little brother's best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer.

I need this.

I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he's in compromising positions ...

 

Beau:

In search of: roommate.

Must be non smoker and non douchebag.

Room payment to be made in meal planning, repairs, and dumb jokes.

Since my career took off, I barely have time to breathe, let alone keep my life in order. I'm naturally chaotic, make terrible decisions, and scare off potential dates with my "weirdness".

So when Payne gets back into town and needs somewhere to stay, I offer him my spare room with one condition: while he's staying with me, I need him to help me become date-able.

And while he does that, I can focus on my other plan: ignoring that Payne is the only man I've ever wanted to date.
