Love Oops: Lysander and Ty (Pink Matchmakers: True Hearts)

By Lily P. Archer

He'd given up on tomorrow. Then someone decided he was worth waiting for.
Ty Dostoevsky has never known what it feels like to be safe.
After surviving a brutal attack that nearly killed him, Ty retreats to Halo, a haven for battered and abused people, where he spends his days hiding in the safety of his room. He doesn't want freedom. He doesn't want a future. He definitely doesn't want a job, a relationship, or a man looking at him like he's something worth protecting.
He just wants to be left alone.
Chef Lysander "Sander" Lockhart has never been good at minding his own business.
Loud, stubborn, and fiercely loyal, Sander can't forget the night he found a beautiful, battered man abandoned in his restaurant dumpster. From that moment on, all he wants is to see Ty safe, healthy, and smiling again.
Offering Ty a job at Bicker Brothers seems like the perfect solution.
Ty disagrees.
The more Sander pushes, the more Ty retreats. The more Sander tries to help, the more he gets it wrong. But walking away isn't an option-not when his heart got involved the moment he met Ty.
The problem?
Ty may never want the job.
He may never want a relationship.
And he may never want Sander.
For a man who has never learned patience, waiting might be the hardest thing Sander has ever done.
But if there's one thing he knows for certain, it's this: Ty is worth waiting for.
No matter how long it takes.
