The Lover (It's Just Us Here #4)

An asexual man falls in love with a male model... and is introduced to the fine art of getting down.

Chris and Mark are officially a couple... though Chris isn't out to his parents. Mark, on the other hand, is trying to mend his broken relationships with his father and grandfather.

Their new romance is a source of stability for Mark and chaos for Chris. Together they navigate the many pitfalls of their newly sexual intimacy. Meanwhile, Chris can't keep his family out of the loop forever because his mother is an especially gifted amateur sleuth.

Also, it doesn't help that Mark wants to show off their romance like a first grader who brought a puppy to show-and-tell.

[The Lover is Book Four in a ten book series. You can read this as the beginning of a four book "Lovers and Second Chances" story arc. You should probably read the first three books to understand the fullness of the characters, but this isn't strictly necessary. Book One, Book Four and Book Eight all serve as 'jumping in' points for the series.

It's Just Us Here: The Lover is a 120,000 word journey of two men making a life together, staking out personal boundaries and gently adding sexual exploration to their intense emotional relationship.]
