Description

About Still Here, Still Yours

He promised to call. Twenty-three years later, he’s standing on my ball field.

Nolan Pierce was my best friend. My almost. The boy I nearly kissed on a tailgate the night before he left Briarwood, and never heard from again.

Now he’s forty-one, divorced, and back in town with an eight-year-old who’s scared of ground balls. He volunteers to help with her team. I’m the assistant coach.

He says he’s sorry. He says I didn’t imagine it. He looks at my mouth like a man doing math he’s avoided his whole life.

I’ve got a business I built with my own hands, a house I’m not ashamed of, and zero interest in being the soft place some man lands until he remembers where he was headed. If Nolan wants me, he can say so. Out loud. And he can still be here in the morning.

Then he kisses me on my own porch. And calls the next day.

It turns out the careful, buttoned-up engineer is a very fast learner. It turns out I’m not as guarded as I thought. And it turns out the hardest thing to teach a man who’s spent his life leaving isn’t how to touch me.

It’s how to stay.

Still Here, Still Yours is a high-heat MM romance with a single dad, a second chance twenty-three years in the making, a bi awakening at forty-one, praise that ruins him, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA. Dual first-person POV. Standalone.
