You Can Count On Me: MM Holiday Romance

Miles "Rooster" Johnson: As a young single-dad with a teaching job, I haven't had much opportunity to date. My son is my entire world, and though I would love to have a partner and someone to count on, the passing years have shown that it's just not in the cards for me. So when the gorgeous lumberjack of a man-the same man that I've had a massive crush on since the moment we became neighbors-suddenly asks me out on a date, I'm completely blindsided. Trent could have anyone he wants. He's charming, flirtatious, and outgoing-the exact opposite of my awkward, anxious self. I don't know what he sees in me. All I know for sure is that I absolutely need to make this date go well.Trent Montgomery: I know I have a playboy reputation in our small town, but there's nothing wrong with playing the field. It's worked for me so far, even if I have felt some discontent lately. My mama thinks I need to settle down and find someone nice. But she doesn't understand that I'm just not ready. No matter how beautiful and tempting my neighbor Rooster is or how eager I am to get the silent mountain of a man to open up-no matter how adorable his little boy is, even when he's threatening me at bat-point to take his daddy out on a date-I know I can't be everything that they need. I agreed to ask Rooster out, but I think maybe I made a big mistake. All I know for sure is that I absolutely need to sabotage this date.They say you should love thy neighbor, but I don't think they meant it the way I want to love mine.You Can Count On Me is a standalone slow burn Holiday MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers.
