Hearts Right Here
Hal Preston isn't normally one to run from his problems, but a solitary mountain retreat might be exactly what he needs to stop obsessing over his dad's best friend.
There's no chance Wayne Merrick shares his fascination. The man is overprotective and sweet, a reliable constant through Hal's entire life. He's also sure to panic if he notices the crush Hal has harbored for years. There's a reason Hal's gone to great lengths to hide his intractable heart.
When unscheduled radio silence summons Wayne to Hal's cabin, Hal impulsively invites him to stay. And as they find a soft, strange new balance, Hal aches to show Wayne his heart after all.
