Fifteen years - that's what Robert gave Ted, right up until the afternoon he found him in their own bed with another man. Now thirty-nine, quietly coming apart, and dreading the thought of growing old alone, a heartbroken professor has no business starting over. Certainly not with Matt: twenty-six, easy in his own skin, kinder than anyone's been to Robert in longer than he can remember. And far, far too easy to want.
Robert has a hundred good reasons to keep his distance. Matt just keeps showing up anyway - patient, warm, asking for nothing but the chance to be near him.
You'll only get hurt again, the old voice warns. But what if the thing he's most afraid of is the thing that finally sets him free?
Letting Matt in would mean trusting again. It might also mean getting it right this time.
Falling for Matt is a slow-burn, age-gap MM romance full of tenderness, second chances, and hard-won healing - with the happily-ever-after you're reading for. Explicit content; intended for readers 18+.
