Boiling Point

RICKY:My double life is crumbling around me. Denying who I am isn't fair on anyone: the girls I tried so hard to date, the guys I'm too afraid to flirt with, or my family who don't know the truth. I'm afraid of coming out to my mom-but if I don't, I'll remain in fear that she'll find out from someone else. I'm torn between expectation and truth, and I'm not sure I can keep hiding behind a cocky grin.I'm not ready for the gorgeous guy who challenges me in my own diner. His every word turns me on, and I'm drawn to him like a moth to flame, but if I get so close that anyone finds out, we're both going to end up burned.CEDAR:I'm too clumsy to hold onto anything good. Everything I touch breaks, and now I'm dependent on my ex's good graces. He runs our urban gardening charity, and his dad pays my rent. I do the dirty work, which is all I'm good for: I dig holes and plant seeds. Standing up for myself feels impossible, so I start easy. At least, it was supposed to be.The cocky cook who couldn't crisp up my bacon sure crisped up my sausage. Everyone knows closeted guys are a risk, and I'm great at scaring people away. But Ricky gives me the strength to be me, and I can't stop falling for him. Not even chipped Brooklyn sidewalks can stop true love blooming.Boiling Point is book 3 in the Brooklyn Boys series, where good men find their happily ever afters in a hectic metropolis. It has an HEA and no cliffhanger. There will be awkward first times, cops at the door, hiding in thrift store racks, a trouble-making bouquet, a mama's boy coming home, and an uncontrolled flame. Since 2013, E. Davies has crafted feel-good stories of men in love--stories that are brimming with hope, found families, and realistic guys next door getting their modern fairytale endings. As for hobbies: rescuing bees, dancing badly, traipsing through meadows, and studying photos of cute guys for research totally count, right?
