"I can't keep it professional. Not with you."

James is glad to pay the price of starting a new life, even if his family turned their backs on him when he transitioned. He's starting a business with his hunky carpenter friend to pay off his medical debt. But what if Ryan is the only one to see past it all and love him inside and out?

Ryan is hard to rattle. When he knows what he wants, nothing can stop him. Clever, caring, bossy new partner James has won Ryan's heart, and he doesn't back down from a challenge-or even threats.

They both know mixing business with pleasure is a bad idea, but the pull between them is too hard to resist. Can James let Ryan in, and can Ryan have it all with the one who's won his heart?

Grind is the sixth book in The Riley Brothers, a low-angst series filled with brotherly banter and small-town smiles. This steamy, standalone gay romance novel can be enjoyed on its own, and promises a happily-ever-after ending.
